Additional Practice Areas

Neighbor Disputes in Co-Owned Buildings

Disputes between neighbors can damage quality of life and property value. We handle complex conflicts in buildings and residential neighborhoods:

  • Use of common property: resolving disputes over parking, storage, or landscaped areas.
  • Building violations: handling unauthorized or unpermitted additions.
  • Nuisances: resolving noise, leaks, and unauthorized changes to the building’s appearance.

Partition of Joint Real Estate

When co-owners of a property cannot agree, partition may be required. We manage the process professionally and decisively:

  • Negotiated solutions: buying out a partner’s share or in-kind division.
  • Litigation: partition suits and appointment of receivers.
  • Maximizing value: guiding forced or voluntary sale to achieve the best price.

Real Estate in Divorce and Inheritance

Real estate is the central asset in most family and estate cases. We manage property files as part of a comprehensive strategy:

  • Fair division: resource balancing between spouses, including apartments and land.
  • Estate asset management: resolving disputes between heirs over use of the asset.
  • Tax planning: minimizing capital gains and purchase tax exposure in transfers.

Frequently Asked Questions – Real Estate Disputes
Is court always required in a neighbor dispute?

Not always. Sometimes a lawyer’s letter resolves the problem quickly. We recommend starting with dialogue or a demand letter. If the neighbor refuses to cooperate, we file suit. The goal is to protect your rights with minimum time spent.

How does partition of a jointly-owned apartment work?

Partition begins with one co-owner’s application. The court prefers in-kind division where possible. If not, the property is sold to a third party by public auction, and proceeds are distributed among the co-owners by their registered share. We push for negotiated settlements that prevent forced sale.

Why is legal counsel important in partition cases?

Partition has major tax, valuation, and procedural implications. An experienced real estate lawyer ensures you do not forfeit rights, maximizes sale price, and sometimes reaches a settlement that preserves your share in the property.
