Frequently Asked Questions
The legal complexities of real estate disputes in Michigan, New York and New Jersey require clear answers to fundamental structural questions. The following FAQ addresses the primary concerns we encounter when helping clients protect their property investments.
What are some common legal issues in commercial and residential real estate that lead to disputes?
Disputes frequently stem from a failure to perform under a purchase agreement or disagreements over property boundaries and easements. In Farmington Hills commercial real estate, we often see conflicts regarding common area maintenance (CAM) charges or zoning compliance. In the residential sector, undisclosed physical defects remain a primary catalyst for litigation under Michigan real estate law.
What are some common misconceptions about real estate that lead to these disputes?
The most dangerous misconception is that a handshake or a standard boilerplate form is sufficient to protect your interests. While as-is clauses generally shift risk to the buyer, they do not shield a seller from liability in cases of active fraud or silent fraud where a material defect was intentionally concealed despite a duty to disclose.
How can an experienced real estate attorney help?
An experienced attorney acts as a shield against unnecessary risk. We identify red flag clauses in contracts before they become litigious and provide the leverage necessary to settle disputes without exhaustive court battles. If litigation is unavoidable, we bring 15 years of courtroom experience across three states to ensure your rights are upheld.
