Real Estate Litigation in Los Angeles County

Our Los Angeles office serves clients with real property, trust and estate matters connected to Los Angeles County.

Code of Civil Procedure section 392 generally places an action to recover real property or determine an interest in it in the superior court of the county where the property is located. The court assigns the courthouse under its current rules.

Real estate litigation can involve title, contract, disclosure, boundary or lien issues. The controlling documents usually include the deed, recorded instruments and the parties' written agreements.

For a matter connected to Los Angeles County, deeds, liens and other recorded real property instruments are maintained by the Registrar-Recorder and County Clerk at 12400 Imperial Hwy, Norwalk, CA 90650. Those records can establish the chain of title and the instruments affecting the parcel.

Where the records are held

Answers before you call

Common questions

How much does a real estate attorney cost in California?
It depends on the matter and how it proceeds. The predictable costs in a property dispute are title research, a survey where a boundary or route is in issue, and the filing. The variable is whether the other side litigates. We give a realistic range for your facts rather than a general figure.
Do I need a lawyer for a property dispute?
Not always. Some disputes resolve with a survey, a recorded agreement or a letter that frames the claim properly. Where the other side has already taken a position in writing, or where a deadline is running, it is worth advice before responding.
How long does real estate litigation take in California?
A quiet title matter nobody defends can conclude in months. A contested partition, disclosure or fraud case with discovery and a trial date runs considerably longer. The number of parties and whether anyone defends drive it more than the subject matter does.
Where is a California property lawsuit filed?
In the county where the property is located, under Code of Civil Procedure section 392, regardless of where the owner lives. If the parcel crosses a county line, either county will take it.
How is an initial consultation handled?
An initial consultation is used to understand the matter and determine whether it is something the firm handles. Fee arrangements depend on the matter and are discussed before representation begins.
