Real Estate Litigation in New Jersey: Protecting Your Property Rights
Real estate is one of the most valuable investments a person or business can make — but it’s not without legal risks. Disputes over ownership, contracts, development, and use of property can escalate quickly and become costly if not addressed with effective legal strategy. Whether you’re a property owner, developer, tenant, or investor, understanding your rights in real estate litigation is essential.
ASK Law Firm LLC provides strategic and results-driven representation in real estate disputes throughout New Jersey. From our offices in Hackensack and Woodbridge, we advocate for individuals and businesses facing property-related legal challenges.
Common Types of Real Estate Disputes
Our attorneys handle a wide range of real estate litigation matters, including:
- Breach of real estate contracts: Buyers or sellers backing out of a deal, missed deadlines, or unfulfilled conditions
- Commercial lease disputes: Conflicts over rent, maintenance obligations, or early termination
- Boundary and easement disputes: Disagreements about property lines or access rights
- Title disputes: Issues involving competing claims of ownership or defective title
- Construction and development conflicts: Breaches of construction contracts, delays, or code violations
- Partition actions: When co-owners want to divide or sell shared property
- Landlord-tenant litigation: Evictions, habitability claims, or lease enforcement
Litigation or Resolution?
While real estate disputes often lead to litigation, not all conflicts need to be resolved in court. At ASK Law Firm LLC, we explore all resolution avenues — including negotiation, mediation, and arbitration — to save our clients time and expense when possible. However, when litigation is necessary, we are aggressive advocates in both state and federal courts across New Jersey.
Contract Enforcement in Real Estate
Real estate transactions typically involve legally binding agreements, and when one party fails to meet its obligations, the other may have grounds to pursue damages or specific performance (a court order to enforce the deal). Common issues include:
- Failure to close on a sale
- Misrepresentation or nondisclosure of property conditions
- Financing issues or failure to obtain mortgage approval
- Unlawful occupancy or use
Having a strong attorney review your contract and protect your rights early on is critical to avoiding costly problems down the road.
Title and Boundary Disputes
Title and boundary disputes often arise after a purchase or during construction. These matters may involve:
- Adverse possession (claims by long-term occupants)
- Discrepancies in surveys or deeds
- Undisclosed liens or encumbrances
- Shared driveways or easement conflicts
Our legal team conducts thorough title investigations and works closely with surveyors, engineers, and title companies to resolve these complex issues efficiently.
