What if my name isn’t on title but I contributed financially?

Some disputes involve contributions that are not reflected on title. What matters depends on the facts, documents, and evidence available. A consultation can help you understand how this may be approached.

Do property disputes always go to court?

Not always. Some disputes can be resolved through negotiation or settlement steps depending on the situation. A consultation can help clarify what may be realistic.

What if one owner refuses to sell or cooperate?

This can happen in co-ownership disputes. A consultation can help you understand what civil options may be available and what steps may matter.

How long do property disputes take?

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the issues and the other party’s response. A consultation can help you understand what to expect.

Can you guarantee a specific result or outcome?

No lawyer can guarantee an outcome. What we can do is assess your matter, explain realistic options, and guide you through a practical strategy.
