Rockville Real Estate Attorneys

Real Estate Matters in Rockville

Real estate law covers a wide array of legal matters that can affect both residential and commercial property owners, developers, construction companies, landlords, tenants, and other parties. Fox & Moghul provides assistance with issues that may affect the ownership, use, and value of real estate, including:

• Real Estate Deeds: Accurate and enforceable deed drafting is essential when transferring property interests. Our attorneys can help ensure that deeds comply with the applicable legal requirements while reflecting the parties' intent. We can assist with warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, life estate deeds, and other types of deeds.
• Commercial Property Transactions and Development: Our lawyers represent investors, developers, and business owners in matters related to the acquisition, sale, leasing, and development of commercial property. We can assist with drafting and negotiating purchase agreements, conducting due diligence, addressing zoning and land use issues, and reviewing financing documents, helping to ensure that transactions and development projects can be completed successfully.
• Easements and Boundary Line Disputes: Issues related to shared driveways, utility access, or uncertain property lines may lead to contentious disputes between property owners, neighbors, and other parties. Our attorneys can help our clients resolve easement disagreements and boundary disputes. We will work to clarify our clients' legal rights, secure appropriate access, and litigate or mediate conflicts when needed.
• Partition and Allotment Actions: When co-owners cannot agree on how to use, manage, or dispose of real estate property, it may become necessary to partition a property into multiple parcels, force the sale of property, or have one party acquire the other parties' ownership interests. Our lawyers represent clients in partition and allotment actions, helping to divide or sell property fairly.
• Adverse Possession Claims: In some cases, the unauthorized use of land over time may lead to a legal claim of ownership. Our attorneys can help resolve disputes over legal claims to ownership of land, reviewing timelines, use patterns, and statutory requirements to determine how we can protect our clients' rights.
• Nuisance and Trespass Claims: Property owners have the right to use and enjoy their property without unreasonable interference. Our lawyers can help address claims involving ongoing nuisances such as noise, pollution, or encroachments, as well as cases of trespassing where boundaries have been violated or property has been used without authorization.
• Construction Disputes and Mechanic's Liens: When construction delays, defective work, or payment disputes arise, our attorneys work with owners, contractors, and subcontractors to resolve these issues. We can address issues related to mechanic's liens, including working with contractors or suppliers to file liens or helping property owners defend against liens.
• Condominium and HOA Representation: Our lawyers can provide representation for homeowner associations and condominium boards in matters such as bylaw enforcement, governance disputes, rule amendments, and collection actions. We can also help developers and unit owners understand their rights and obligations when addressing concerns related to HOAs or condominium associations.
• Commercial Lease Disputes: Our attorneys assist landlords and tenants with matters related to commercial leases, including interpreting lease terms, enforcing provisions, negotiating extensions or terminations, and litigating breach of lease claims involving non-payment, repairs, or default.
• Landlord-Tenant Disputes: In residential eviction proceedings, disputes over habitability or security deposits, or other related matters, our lawyers can provide representation for landlords and tenants. We work to resolve issues efficiently and, when necessary, we can advocate for our clients in court, helping to protect their interests.
• Quiet Title Actions and Title Litigation: When there are competing claims to property, such as unknown heirs, incorrect deeds, or lien disputes, our attorneys can file quiet title actions to establish clear legal ownership. We also represent clients in litigation involving defects in title and fraudulent conveyances.
• Toxic Tort Defense for Mold and Asbestos: Property owners, managers, landlords, and contractors may need to address claims related to toxic substances on a property. Our lawyers can help defend against personal injury or property damage claims. We will evaluate causation, regulatory compliance, and insurance coverage when developing effective defense strategies.
• Real Estate Asset Protection: Through the use of land trusts, LLCs, and other asset protection vehicles, our attorneys can help our clients shield real estate holdings against liability. We can provide strategic planning that aligns with a client's business and investment goals while complying with state and federal laws.
