Property disputes we litigate
Five kinds of disputes make up most of the firm's real estate litigation work. If yours sits between categories, call anyway; most do.
Real Estate Contract & Closing Disputes
You had a signed contract. Then the seller backed out, the buyer walked, or the closing never happened and the deposit is in dispute. We litigate Florida real estate contract and closing disputes, including specific performance actions to compel a sale to close.
An old lien that was never released. A gap in the chain of title. A stranger's claim on property you own. A quiet title action asks a Florida court to resolve competing claims and confirm ownership when a title defect is blocking a sale, a refinance, or your plans for the property.
Quiet Title Actions
You co-own property with someone who will not sell, will not buy you out, and will not budge; often an inherited home split among siblings. A partition action forces the sale or division of jointly owned Florida property when the owners cannot agree, and we protect your share of the proceeds along the way.
Partition Actions
A fence over the line. A survey that does not match the deed. A neighbor's addition creeping onto your lot. We resolve boundary, encroachment, and easement disputes between Florida property owners, in negotiation where possible and in court where necessary.
Boundary & Property Line Disputes
You procured the buyer and the deal closed, but the commission never came. We represent Florida real estate brokers and agents in unpaid commission and procuring cause disputes, in court and in arbitration, to recover what was earned.
Broker Commission Disputes

A Clear Plan
Real estate dispute questions, answered
-
It depends on the contract and which side you are on. A seller who refuses to close may be compelled to complete the sale through a specific performance action, or held liable for damages. A buyer who walks away may forfeit the deposit or owe more. The contract's default and remedy provisions control, so have an attorney read them before you respond or release anything.
-
A quiet title action is a lawsuit that asks the court to resolve competing claims and declare clear ownership of a property. You may need one when an old lien, an heir's claim, a gap in the chain of title, or another defect is blocking a sale, a refinance, or your certainty about ownership.
-
Usually, yes. A co-owner of Florida property generally has the right to seek partition: a court-ordered sale or division of the property, with the proceeds split according to ownership interests. Partition is common with inherited property, when one heir wants to sell and another refuses. Many partition cases settle before trial.
-
Start with the survey and the recorded legal descriptions; many boundary conflicts turn on what the documents actually say. From there, options range from a negotiated boundary agreement to a quiet title or ejectment action. Acting early matters, because long-standing encroachments can ripen into legal rights over time.
