Real estate is often one of the most significant investments an individual or business will make. Unfortunately, disputes involving real estate can be both financially and emotionally draining. Whether it’s a broken sales agreement, boundary dispute, or title issue, real estate litigation may be necessary to protect your property rights and enforce legal agreements.
Common Types of Real Estate Disputes
Real estate litigation covers a wide variety of legal conflicts involving both residential and commercial properties. In New Jersey, common disputes include:
- Breaches of purchase and sale agreements
- Commercial lease disputes and evictions
- Partition actions between co-owners
- Property line and boundary conflicts
- Easement and access issues
- Failure to disclose defects in residential sales
- Land use and zoning appeals
- Foreclosure defense and quiet title actions
These cases often involve both statutory law and complex contract interpretation, requiring a legal team with a thorough understanding of New Jersey’s real estate laws.
Litigating Property Disputes in New Jersey
Most real estate disputes begin with negotiation or mediation, but when those efforts fail, litigation may be the only option. A well-prepared lawsuit can compel performance of a contract, remove a cloud from title, or stop illegal use of land. The litigation process often includes:
- Pleading: Filing a complaint and responsive pleadings in Superior Court.
- Discovery: Exchanging evidence such as contracts, deeds, emails, inspections, and surveys.
- Motions: Requesting interim rulings (e.g., injunctions or summary judgment).
- Trial: Presenting arguments and evidence to a judge or jury.
- Post-trial relief: Enforcing court orders or filing appeals, if necessary.
Timely legal intervention can often prevent escalation and protect your interests before irreparable damage occurs.
