Contract Disputes
Contracts are an essential part of doing business, and the real estate industry is no exception. Real estate contracts establish terms for all types of things, such as the amount a property will be leased, purchased or sold for, maintenance or use of the property, performance of appropriate construction or renovation, etc. Because contracts are legally binding documents, one party can take legal action against the other party when contract terms are violated. If you are involved in a contract dispute related to your real estate, your first action should be to contact an attorney who is fully knowledgeable about these types of matters. At Pollak & Slepian, L.L.P., our real estate attorneys can serve as strong legal advocates on your behalf. Whether you are going through mediation with the other party to work out the dispute or you are taking the matter to court through real estate litigation, our firm’s skilled legal team will assist you.
More About Contract Disputes
Contract disputes usually arise when one party in a legally binding agreement is accused of failing to deliver on his or her end of the deal, or when one party is accused of carrying out an action that is prohibited in the contract. Sometimes, conflicts arise because both parties interpret certain parts of the contract differently. These types of conflicts can lead to major financial losses for businesses, serious personal losses, ruined business relationships and many other negative repercussions.

Foreclosures
Are you facing foreclosure threats on your home? There are a number of different ways to fight foreclosure and prevent significant damage to your credit and financial situation. It is essential that you seek the legal assistance of a real estate attorney as soon as possible in order to begin preparing a defense to your situation and evaluate options that are available to you. While not always possible, there are many cases in which an attorney can look through contractual agreements to uncover any mistakes that were made during preparation that may unbind you from the agreement or nullify the contract. Another option that you may have is a short sale of your home, or a deed in lieu. While both of these options mean giving up your home, they can leave your finances almost unscathed after foreclosure threats, and this can be a better option than foreclosure. A short sale will allow you to sell your home on the market for far less than its value in order to obtain enough funds to pay off the mortgage that you owe. A deed in lieu is a trade for forgiveness of the debt owed. Both of these transactions can prevent a foreclosure on your credit report, which is a tremendous advantage for you when you begin looking for a new home.

Property Lien Attorney in NY
When an owner of real estate property has stopped making payments to a creditor, that creditor can file a property lien in order to obtain the money for the debt. Property liens are public records that show that property owners owe money to certain creditors. When individuals have liens on their properties, they end up having property titles that are considered “unclear”—with payment on the lien being required to get the titles “clear” again. While it is not impossible, it can be difficult to get a property sold or refinanced when one’s title is unclear. Another type of lien that might be placed on a property is a construction lien, which is also known as a mechanic’s lien. These are liens that are used by contractors to ensure that they are paid for services that they performed on properties. When these contractors are not paid what they are owed, the properties that are subject to the liens can end up being sold so the construction debts can be paid back. Enforceable written contracts must have been established in order for contractors to be able to successfully file property liens. While liens give creditors the right to have the property sold off through foreclosure, this is not always in the creditors’ best interest. Instead, many creditors will choose to use the liens to obtain proceeds from non-foreclosures sales or refinancing of the property.

Residential + Commercial Contracts
Residential and commercial real estate sales and purchases are fraught with complications in negotiations and paperwork. If you wish to purchase a home, sell a home, purchase commercial property, or sell a commercial building, then it is essential for you to have skilled representation on your side to help you evaluate the agreements and contracts that you will be entering into and to ensure that you are not being taken advantage of in the transaction. There are many individuals who enter into agreements completely unaware of potential risks and challenges that can leave them with little to no room to alter their unwanted circumstances once the papers are signed.

If you are considering purchasing a coop (a section of a cooperative housing project, also referred to as a co-op), then it is important that you understand the type of contract that you are entering into before you sign. When you purchase a coop in New York, you will have to meet various financial requirements as you will be a shareholder in the entire building. You will most likely be required to submit an application that provides information such as your net worth, liquid assets, income, tax statements, and other documentation. The same requirements can apply to the purchase of many condominiums in this state. If you purchase a condo, then you will have monthly maintenance requirements as you have a share in the exterior walls, the swimming pool, and other common areas and facilities. Even though you technically own your individual unit, you are still required to contribute to the upkeep of the elements of the building that are not owned exclusively by another individual. It is crucial that you have representation on your side to help evaluate the terms of purchase and residency and help ensure that you are well informed about all of these issues.
