Florida Real Estate & Business Litigation Attorney

Florida Real Estate Disputes

Real estate disputes can arise during the purchase, sale, financing, ownership, development, leasing or use of property. Some matters concern the interpretation or enforcement of a contract, while others involve competing interests in the property itself.

Hennen Law represents clients in Florida real estate disputes involving:

• 01Purchase and sale agreements
• 02Specific performance claims
• 03Title defects and quiet title actions
• 04Defective, disputed or allegedly fraudulent deeds
• 05Ownership and competing-interest claims
• 06Mortgage, financing and foreclosure matters
• 07Unreleased mortgages and other lien disputes
• 08Construction and mechanic’s liens
• 09Title insurance coverage and breach-of-warranty claims
• 10Commercial and residential lease enforcement
• 11Landlord-side possession and eviction proceedings
• 12Association and condominium lien disputes
• 13Brokerage commission disputes
• 14Boundary, survey, encroachment, easement and access disputes

Each matter requires an evaluation of the controlling documents, relevant property records, the parties’ respective rights and the remedies potentially available under Florida law.

Boundary, Encroachment, Easement and Access Matters

As part of its broader real estate litigation practice, Hennen Law also represents Florida property owners and other interested parties in disputes involving property boundaries, encroachments, easements and access rights.

These matters may arise when a survey conflicts with a deed or recorded plat, a fence or structure crosses a claimed property line, access to a parcel is obstructed, or neighboring owners disagree about the existence, location, scope or permitted use of an easement.

The firm handles matters involving:

• 01Conflicting surveys, legal descriptions and recorded plats
• 02Disputed property lines and boundary locations
• 03Fences, walls, driveways, buildings and other alleged encroachments
• 04Ingress and egress rights
• 05Shared driveways, private roads and access routes
• 06Recorded, implied, prescriptive and necessity-based easement claims
• 07Interference with or obstruction of claimed access rights
• 08Disputes concerning the scope, location, use or termination of an easement
• 09Title or ownership issues connected to boundary and access disputes

Resolving these disputes may require examining deeds, surveys, plats, title records, easement documents, historical property use and other evidence. Depending on the circumstances, potential approaches may include negotiation, mediation, corrective documentation, a boundary or access agreement, a quiet title action, declaratory relief, injunctive relief or other litigation.

Because the available claims and remedies depend on the property’s history, the controlling documents and the particular facts, each dispute must be evaluated individually.

Business Litigation

Hennen Law also represents Florida businesses and individuals in commercial disputes involving contracts, ownership interests, business relationships and financial obligations.

The firm handles business litigation matters involving:

• 01Breach of contract
• 02Business ownership and partnership disputes
• 03Member and shareholder disputes
• 04Commercial lease disputes
• 05Payment and financial disputes
• 06Fraud, misrepresentation and related business claims
• 07Enforcement and interpretation of business agreements
• 08Other disputes arising from commercial transactions and relationships

The firm evaluates both the legal and practical consequences of a business dispute, including the cost of litigation, the client’s ongoing business objectives and the opportunities for an efficient resolution.
