Real Estate Litigation in Massachusetts
Protecting Your Interest in Your Real Estate
Sometimes, the sale, purchase, or ownership of real estate does not go exactly the way you expect it to go. Litigation may be necessary to protect your interest in that real estate.
The Law Offices of Scott C. Crabtree are here to help you if your real estate transaction falls apart, if you are unable to agree with the co-owner of property, or if you are served with a foreclosure action. We represent you in Massachusetts real estate litigation.
Real Estate Law in Massachusetts
Specific performance
If your real estate transaction falls apart, our firm brings an action to require specific performance of the contract. Specific performance is a form of relief that requires the party who breached or default on a real estate contract to fulfill the terms of the contract.
Specific performance is available to both sellers and buyers. A seller may seek specific performance if the buyer fails to meet the terms of the real estate contract. A buyer may seek specific performance under these circumstances:
- If the seller is able to perform under the contract, but is unwilling to do so
- if the seller cannot convey all of the property covered by the contract
Partition actions
Massachusetts real estate litigation sometimes is needed to resolve disagreements between co-owners of real estate. Oftentimes, co-owners agree to the division or partition of real estate.
However, sometimes one co-owner wants to sell the property, set up a business, or build a house on the property and the other does not. Our offices bring partition actions to divide the property into individual shares among the owners.
Foreclosure actions
We represent you if you have been served with a foreclosure complaint. We protect your interests and search for alternatives to the ultimate foreclosure on your home.
