Kattman & Pinaud, P.A., is proud to serve the people and businesses with their real estate legal needs. We represent clients in real estate transactions and, more importantly oftentimes, real estate litigation. Our clients include individuals, businesses, homeowners, commercial and residential property owners, investors, contractors, and corporations.

Real Estate Litigation (Commercial and Residential)
Litigation means that there is a problem or situation that has developed into a lawsuit or is potentially about to. We represent both plaintiffs (the people doing the suing) or defendants (the people being sued). Our real estate litigation practice focuses on a wide range of pre-litigation and litigation matters relating to the purchase, sale, and development of real estate, including, but not limited to:

• Commercial and residential real estate disputes
• Contract disputes
• Easement problems
• Foreclosures
• Pre-construction contracts
• Specific performance (where a party asks the court to force a sale of property by a reluctant seller).
• Condominium association disputes
• Homeowner's association disputes
• Real estate development issues
• Financing disputes
• Border and property-line disputes, including fence and other encroachments
• Trespass problems.
• Partition actions (where a property has multiple owners and one owner asks a court to order it be sold)
• Water rights, including dock and beach disputes.
• Other real estate litigation

Real estate litigation is often complex and convoluted and much can be at stake. We have the experience to handle the real estate problems and disputes you may have. Also, in the case of a foreclosure, we can help homeowners protect their home from a foreclosure without filing for bankruptcy. If your home ownership is endangered by a home foreclosure action, our attorneys may be able to help you keep your home, or, if you do not want to keep it, we can help you enforce your rights to delay the foreclosure process by months or even a year or more.

Real Estate Transactions (Purchase and Sales; Transfers; Deeds; Mortgages; Contracts)
Real estate transaction issues differ from litigation in that there is no issue of a legal dispite. We assist people in the purchase and sale of residential and commercial property. We assist with closings, financing, and legal documents necessary for the successful completion of real estate transactions in Florida. Perhaps most importantly, we review all kinds real estate contracts for clients, and we draft various legal documents for clients, including:

• Deeds (all kinds)
• Morgages
• Porchase and sale agreements
• Agreements for Deed (where the seller does not give title until a mortgage is paid off)
• Easements

If you have a question about any real estate transactional matter, we are here to help. And if you have a contract already that you are getting ready tto sign or have someone else sign, call us and let us review it for you!! We cannot express how often arduous and potentially expensive real estate litigation (and incalculable aggravation and heartache) can be avoided by a simple professional review of real estate transactions in the first place.
