Special Warranty Deed

Georgia

Asked on Mar 20, 2025

What type of lawyer handles property line disputes

My neighbor's are trying to steal my land

Jerome L.

Answered Apr 8, 2025

Hi there, A real estate attorney—specifically one who handles property disputes and boundary line issues—is the right type of lawyer for this matter. I assist clients with these kinds of disputes by helping them understand and assert their legal rights when property boundaries are in question. Here’s how we typically approach a situation like yours: Homeowner’s Plan of Action to Establish Ownership & Defend Property Lines: Obtain the Legal Description of Your Property: Start by reviewing your deed, plat maps, and title documents. These outline the legal boundaries of your property and are critical for defending your claim. Order a Professional Land Survey: A licensed surveyor can physically mark the boundary lines and create a survey report to compare with your legal documents. This is often the first and strongest piece of evidence in a boundary dispute. Review Title History & Any Easements: We will check for any title issues, encroachments, or easements that could affect your rights or provide clarity. Send a Cease-and-Desist or Demand Letter (if appropriate): Before litigation, we may attempt to resolve the matter through a formal letter outlining your legal position and requesting your neighbors stop any encroaching activity. Initiate Quiet Title or Declaratory Judgment Action (if necessary): If your neighbors are asserting ownership or taking aggressive actions, we may file a lawsuit to quiet title or seek a court ruling on the proper boundary. Defend Against Adverse Possession or Encroachment Claims: If your neighbors are claiming rights due to long-term use, we will gather evidence to challenge that, including photos, testimony, and maintenance records. Negotiate a Settlement or Easement Agreement (if desired): Sometimes disputes can be resolved amicably without litigation, through a mutually agreed upon solution. If you are currently experiencing this issue, I would be happy to discuss your situation in more detail during a consultation. We can review your documents and help you take the right steps to protect what is legally yours. Looking forward to helping you secure your land and your peace of mind. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Real Estate & Civil Litigation Atto

Agreement To Lease

Georgia

Asked on Feb 2, 2022

When it comes to subleasing an apartment or rental, do I need specific written permission from the owner, or as long as the lease agreement doesnt forbit it, am I okay to proceed?

I am in the process of potentially leasing a home in Savannah, GA for a period of 8 months. My goal is to sublease this home as an Airbnb and make a profit. The leasing agreement has no language forbidding subleasing the property, but it also doesnt have express written permission either. I'm just wondering if that means I can proceed with my plan.

Meghan T.

Answered Feb 4, 2022

This is a topic I get asked about very frequently. In Georgia, the right to sublet residential property is based on the express (written) and implied (inferred) language of the lease. Generally, if subleasing is not mentioned, then there is no restriction on subletting. In any event, you may want to at least have a discussion with your Landlord concerning what you plan to do. This can avoid lots of headaches for you and your guests later down the line.

Agreement To Rent Or Lease

Georgia

Asked on Dec 1, 2023

what is the best method when it comes to contracts if you plan to do property listing for travelers is there a vast difference between a regular rental contract?

Currently looking into overseeing my parent's rental property and want to make sure we're doing the right process in terms of contracts when it comes to renting out a property whether it is a long-term or short-term.

Darryl S.

Answered Dec 11, 2023

Not a VAST difference, but not the same either. You should have a lawyer create an AirBNB or short term rental type agreement and you should not use a standard lease agreement. As examples, the short term agreement might cover check in and out policies, prohibit big parties, etc. and more.

Quitclaim Deed

Georgia

Asked on Sep 30, 2023

How enforceable is a quitclaim deed?

I recently inherited a piece of property from a family member and have been told that a quitclaim deed is the only way to transfer the title to my name. I am concerned about the enforceability of this document and would like to understand the potential risks and benefits associated with using a quitclaim deed. I am also curious about the legal requirements for making a quitclaim deed valid.

Bobby H.

Answered Oct 20, 2023

In theory, any writing in which an owner intends to transfer propery that is adquatedly described and delivered to the transferee is enforcable against the GRANTOR. Thus, a quitclaim deed is generally a valid deed, provided that it has been executed with the requiste formalities for purposes of recording in the public records, and adequetly describes the property. Generally, the term "quitclaim" simply signifies the the grantor does not promise to defend the grantee against any third party title claims. To be properly executed, the deed generally must be executed by the grantor in the presence of the notary, notarized, and signed by the notary and one additional witness. Without meeting these requirements, the deed may not be accepted for recordation in the property records, which also makes the deed "enforceable" against third parties, because it service as notice to those who do not have a previously recorded interest in the property of the grantee's title. In sum, a deed, including a quitclaim deed is generally enforceable against the grantor, but must be executed with the above formalities AND recorded to be "enforceable" against, or serve a notice to third parties of the new owner's interest in the property.

Real Estate Sale Agreement

Georgia

Asked on Apr 22, 2025

Can I back out of a real estate sale agreement if the seller failed to disclose a major defect?

I recently entered into a real estate sale agreement to purchase a house. However, after moving in, I discovered a major structural defect that the seller failed to disclose during the negotiation process. This defect will require significant repairs and affects the safety and value of the property. I want to know if I have grounds to back out of the agreement and seek compensation for the repair costs due to the seller's non-disclosure.

Dan P.

Answered Apr 28, 2025

Under general Contract Law, the pre-existing conditions of the property merge into the Deed at the time of conveyance pursuant to the Merger Doctrine. However, exceptions to this rule do exist, particularly under state statues requiring disclosures pertaining to the sale of real property. Consult with a qualified attorney in your state to discuss possible remedies.
