Real Estate Claims

Des Moines Real Estate Litigation Lawyer

Experienced, professional, and ready to fight for you

Real estate litigation can refer to innumerable types of real property, such as residential houses and property, commercial buildings and property, and agricultural buildings and property. The parties to real estate lawsuits may include property owners, adjoining property owners, developers, builders, contractors, architects, engineers, and government agencies. Lawsuits and litigation concerning real estate can develop in a number of situations, including:

  • Private nuisances.

  • Buying real estate.

  • Selling real estate.

  • Leasing real estate.

  • Property boundary disputes.

  • Adverse possession claims.

  • Boundary by acquiescence claims.

  • Disputes over easements.

  • Property covenants.

  • Condemnation proceedings.

  • Usage restrictions.

  • Assessments, exactions, and taxation.

  • Construction defects.

  • Mechanic’s liens.

  • Real estate contracts.

The legal remedies in real estate litigation cases are many and varied. Part of that depends on whether a government agency is a claimant or defendant or whether only private parties are involved in the dispute. The potential remedies, depending upon the nature of the real estate dispute and the parties involved, can range from injunctions and other types of court orders to money damages.

We can also assist with challenging your property tax assessment. Please read more about that process here: Challenging Your Residential Real Estate Tax Assessment.
