Disputes over ownership, title, possession, liens, inheritance, or authority to transfer property can place valuable real estate at risk. Maxwell & Viviani evaluates the chain of events and available remedies.

Matters We Handle

• Competing ownership claims
• Deed, transfer, and recording disputes
• Partition and co-owner disagreements
• Liens, encumbrances, and payoff disputes
• Estate and probate-related property issues
• Tax-sale and foreclosure-related disputes
• Possession, access, and authority to sell
• Quiet-title and related equitable claims

Our Approach

These matters often require reconstructing the property history through deeds, probate records, contracts, settlement documents, tax records, liens, communications, and testimony. We assess both the legal title and the equitable or procedural issues affecting the property.

Early Evaluation Matters

Recording activity, sales, foreclosure deadlines, probate proceedings, and changes in possession may create urgency. A title report and complete document history are often central to the initial evaluation.
