REAL ESTATE LAW

Did you and your siblings just inherit a property? Do you know what your rights are in Texas for a property owner when it comes to minerals, property taxes, property insurance, and liabilities? Does being on a mortgage make you a property owner-no. Does deeding your ownership of a property to someone else, remove you from the existing loan- no.

Are you a tenant and unclear if you are under an existing lease? Are you a tenant and received an eviction notice? Do you know how to challenge an eviction and what court to appear? Has your living arrangement added a new roommate and if so, are they legally bound by your lease? Has your living arrangement changed and now includes a pet and if so, are you in violation with your landlord?

Are you seeking to purchase property and wanting to deal directly with the seller? How do you know they are the legal seller? How do you know if there are current liens on the property? If there are liens/loans on the property, can you assume them? What if the seller wants to owner finance, are you at risk? What if the seller wants to do a lease purchase, what are your risks there?

What if the property has an easement, who controls that? What if the property has a flood zone, who can build there? What if the property is multi family and you want to make it a single dwelling, is that allowed? What if my neighbor wants to purchase part of my property, is that possible? What if the municipality wants to seize my property for public use, what are your rights? What if the municipality wants to condemn your property for code violations, are there remedies?

Did you recently get divorced and are unclear on who gets the property? If the court ordered you to release your portion to your ex, are there risks with doing that? Are there ways to protect yourself that the court did not address? Is there a timeline on when you can comply or question the property division? If yes, what happens once that timeline has been succeeded?
