The Role of a Real Estate Litigation Lawyer

When facing any issue related to real estate, you need knowledgeable and skilled real estate litigation lawyers. The litigation lawyers at Taurus Law have an in-depth understanding of real estate law and can help handle issues such as:

Estate Litigation and Administration

Your will sets out your plan for what you wish to happen to your estate when you die. It names all the beneficiaries of your estate, which could be your family members like your spouse (or adult independent partner known as common law), children, and close relatives.

In addition, a will allows you to express your wishes regarding who should be named the guardian of your kids (minors). Sometimes, this decision is made by the court.

At Taurus Law, we have lawyers who have the knowledge, integrity, skill, and commitment required to provide professional advice and effective legal representation in estate litigation. We can help ensure your will is executed accurately and protect the rights of your beneficiaries. No matter how complex your estate dispute is, you will be supported by the collective knowledge and commitment of our entire law firm.

Real Estate Disputes

Real estate is one of the largest assets you can own. When this investment involves a home, there’s an emotional attachment or element. This is one of the reasons real estate disputes are common in Alberta. Such disputes arise from different aspects of the process of acquiring or selling a property and often vary in detail and nature. Our skilled real estate litigation lawyers can help address the following disputes:

Real Estate Purchase and Sale

These are real estate disputes between property buyers and sellers. Such issues arise when one party purchases a property but believes the other party breached the contract. A breach of contract in estate transactions can occur when one party fails to close the transaction (buy or sell the property) or fails or refuses to provide a real property report.

Disputes between Neighbors

Good neighbours can add to your enjoyment of your property. However, unhealthy relationships with your neighbours can make it challenging for you to enjoy your home. Some of the common real estate disputes that arise between neighbours include boundary line disputes (adverse possession), legal issues related to trees, noise complaints, and harassment.

Disputes between Property Co-owners

These disputes are common in Alberta and may traverse different contexts, such as real estate law. For instance, conflicts between property co-owners may occur due to legal problems arising from a forced sale of a home, marriage breakdown, and more. Our experience can provide practical and effective counsel to ensure effective and timely dispute resolution.

Disputes with a Municipality

Real estate conflicts involving municipalities often arise in the context of the Municipal Government Act. For instance, if a municipality begins public work adjacent to your house, it may be liable for reimbursing you for the loss of property value.

Other conflicts related to real estate include condominium disputes (especially between the property owners and boards), foreclosures, construction disputes, occupiers’ liability, disputes between tenants and their property owners, and more. Regardless of the nature of your estate-related conflict, our skilled and knowledgeable real estate litigation lawyers can provide professional and practical advice.
