• Landlord–tenant disputes (habitability, repairs, early termination, unauthorized occupants/uses)

• Security-deposit litigation (claims and defenses)

• HOA/COA disputes & compliance (rules enforcement, violations, fines, meetings, amendments)

• Contractor/subcontractor conflicts related to property operations (scope, payment, indemnity, insurance)

• Property damage insurance claims (negotiation and litigation for underpaid/denied losses)

FIRPTA & Foreign Investor Support

Selling U.S. real estate as a foreign person triggers FIRPTA withholding unless an exception applies. We guide you through:

​

• Withholding calculations and certificate strategies

• Forms, affidavits, and timing to avoid closing-table surprises (we coordinate with your tax advisor and settlement team)

• Entity structuring and ongoing documentation for investors (landlord-focused)

Life Events: Deeds & Ownership Changes (No Closings)

 

When life changes, your deed and documents should keep pace. We help owners and families handle non-closing transfers and align real-estate ownership with broader planning.

• Deeds (warranty, special warranty, quitclaim, corrective) and supporting affidavits/releases

• Transfers for divorce, marriage, or buyout

• Estate planning with real estate (trust funding deeds; coordinating POAs and beneficiary designations)

• Post-death transfers in coordination with your probate/estate plan

​

FAQs (Research-Phase Friendly)

 

Do I need a lawyer if I use a standard lease?
Forms miss the details that matter: permitted use, maintenance lines, default remedies, insurance/indemnity, and assignment rules. Tailoring now prevents disputes later.

What’s the fastest way to handle a tenant default?
A clean paper trail (lease + notices) and a prebuilt enforcement plan. We give you step-by-step templates and file when negotiation fails.

Can you help with Airbnb issues in my building?
Yes—clear policies, guest rules, and enforcement that align with your lease and HOA/COA documents.

Do you do closings or title/escrow work?
No. We do not handle closings. If a title issue becomes a dispute, we handle the litigation side (e.g., quiet title, specific performance).

I’m a foreign seller—how does FIRPTA affect me?
We advise on withholding, certificates/exceptions, and timing, coordinating with your tax professional and the settlement agent.
