Real Estate Law

1. Property Ownership: This aspect of real estate law defines the various forms of property ownership, such as sole ownership, joint tenancy, tenancy in common, and community property.

2. Real Estate Transactions: Real estate law governs the buying, selling, and leasing of properties. It involves the drafting and review of purchase agreements, lease agreements, and other related contracts.

3. Title and Deeds: Title refers to the legal ownership of a property, and deeds are legal documents that transfer property ownership from one party to another. Real estate law ensures that titles are clear and that deeds are valid and properly recorded.

4. Zoning and Land Use: This aspect of real estate law deals with regulations regarding how properties can be used and developed. Zoning laws designate areas for residential, commercial, industrial, or agricultural purposes.

5. Eminent Domain: Eminent domain allows the government to take private property for public use, but it requires just compensation to the property owner. Real estate law governs the process and ensures fair compensation.

6. Real Estate Disputes: Disputes can arise between property owners, tenants, landlords, or developers. Real estate law helps resolve conflicts related to property boundaries, landlord-tenant disputes, construction defects, and more.
