EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE & NETWORK
We have counseled and represented parties in connection with real property ranging in value from $300,000 to $25,000,000, including residential properties, multi-units, and apartments. We have successfully resolved actions related to analysis of title history/recorded documents, complex title issues (e.g. lien priority disputes, reattachment of junior liens wiped off by foreclosure of senior lienholder, leasehold vs. mortgage priority), partition, Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), construction, and broker duties.
We have a network of agents throughout California which allows us to provide hyper-localized expertise of the markets, and maximize value for you and your clients. We also routinely work with a variety of developers, contractors, brokers, agents, investors, family offices, experts (including construction, geology, and handwriting), appraisers, and notaries.
APPOINTING THE RIGHT PARTITION REFEREE IN CALIFORNIA
When seeking the appointment of a partition referee, it is important to find a firm that has knowledge of property law, litigation, and real estate markets. ANAND LAW has in-depth knowledge of all three, which allows us to resolve partition disputes quickly and fairly for all parties involved.
We have experience to deal with any issue that may arise in a partition action, including: corporate ownership, sale of attendant business, unlawful detainer (evictions), quiet title, boundary disputes, TIC properties, tenant properties, unexpired leases, hazardous materials, code violations, mechanics liens, unrecorded easements, and HOA regulations. We ensure that all potential pitfalls are accounted for in order to resolve your situation with finality.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REFEREE AND A RECEIVER?
Somewhat. Typically, a person appointed to take over a business is referred to as a Receiver. A Referee is typically appointed to primarily sell real property. However, part of a Referee’s assignment usually includes managing the property prior to selling it. This may include collecting rents, maintenance, making repairs and potentially improving the property to maximize the sale. Thus, a Referee is responsible for running the business of managing the property. A Referee is a form of Receiver, and they are not mutually exclusive terms.
