California’s real estate law practice is broad and includes landlord tenant law as well as property ownership, sales, transfers, and disputes. Transactions typically require a written contract under the Statute of Frauds. Common procedures involve conducting title searches, and reviewing escrow processes and deed recordings. California is a community property state, affecting ownership rights between married couples.
Real estate disputes are often addressed through civil litigation such as partition lawsuits and quiet title actions, where a party seeks a court order to establish legal ownership. Foreclosures in California typically follow a non-judicial process via a trustee’s sale, though judicial foreclosures are an option. Land use is regulated locally through zoning laws, and disclosures, such as natural hazard disclosures, are mandatory during sales to protect buyers.
