Owning real estate with others can provide significant financial and practical benefits, but it also introduces unique legal challenges.

The Sacramento property buyout lawyer at Business & Real Estate Law Firm PC guides clients through all aspects of joint ownership, from structuring relationships at the outset to navigating buyouts and resolving disputes when co-owners decide to part ways.

Co-ownership arrangements exist between family members, romantic partners, business partners, and more. Entering into a joint ownership agreement, such as between partners of a business or co-owners of an investment property, defines the terms of ownership and avoids disagreements over expenses, use, management, and sale. Business & Real Estate Law Firm PC prepares customized co-ownership agreements to this end, which could also be provisions in a partnership agreement, corporate bylaws, or operating agreement relating to a business or real estate investment opportunity. By addressing the terms of ownership in advance, a buyout attorney in Sacramento help clients avoid disputes and lower the risk of costly partition actions.
Applying a clear procedure to a property buyout is essential. A Sacrament buyout lawyer at Business & Real Estate Law Firm PC assists clients with considering, drafting, and negotiating the terms of a buyout for the buying party who will remain or the selling party who will depart. We facilitate achieving objectives in regard to valuation, timing, dealing with the mortgage, and transfer of title or close of escrow. In the event that an orderly and voluntary buyout becomes unlikely for whatever reason, we also assist clients through related processes of representing the interests of one side at a mediation or filing a partition action on a party’s behalf.
