Boundary Disputes

Boundary Dispute Attorneys

Boundary and property disputes are complex and can devalue or prevent the sale of your property. Common issues include misplaced fences, incorrect surveys, encroachments, and ownership disputes.

These problems often arise from confusion or errors in documents. Promptly addressing such disputes with proper documentation is crucial. Seeking legal advice from our Houston property dispute lawyers will help resolve these issues effectively.

We will conduct a property audit, and initiate resolution via demand letters. If necessary, they will guide you through litigation to protect your most valuable asset.

Fraud and Forgery in Texas Real Estate

How Do I Prove Fraud or Forgery?

Fraud and forgery are common in real estate transactions. To prove them, testimony from the person whose signature is questioned or an assessment by a forensic document examiner is required.

Forgery

A forged deed is invalid from the outset, as established by Texas law. Title cannot pass under a forged deed, regardless of the grantee’s innocence.

Fraud

A deed obtained by fraud is voidable, not void, and must be set aside in court. Texas law requires fraud claims to be filed within four years of discovery. Unlike forgery, fraudulent deeds stand until invalidated by a court.

If you suspect fraud or forgery, you need the experience of Texas Real Estate Attorneys immediately to protect your rights.

Loan Modification

Houston’s Most Trusted Loan Modification Attorney

Struggling to pay your mortgage? You’re not alone. Millions face foreclosure, but Texas Real Estate Attorneys can help.

Our attorneys, experienced from the 2008 crisis, offer mortgage loan modifications and other solutions to bring your payments current and save your home. Consult us today for expert assistance and regain financial freedom.

Eligibility for Mortgage Loan Modification

Generally, Houston homeowners should consider a mortgage modification if:

Can prove a loss of income
Can show at minimum, one source of reliable revenue
Has extra income which is more than 15% of your monthly expense
Does not have extra income to make mortgage payments within 6 (six) months
Affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19
Cannot refinance your loan
Home experienced water damage and the value of the home is less than your loan balance
Decrease in income since last mortgage
Locked in a high mortgage interest rate
Change in your financial situation due to extenuating circumstances

There may be other situations which may allow you to qualify for a mortgage modification in Texas. Houston homeowners should not worry because we will work with your mortgage company to acquire the loan modification you need.

Texas Foreclosure

Houston Foreclosure Attorneys

Real estate transactions don’t always succeed. Successful investors implement systems to recoup losses quickly, and understanding Texas foreclosure is crucial. Private lenders and investors must respect the process to avoid lawsuits and total investment loss.

Is the bank required to help?

Banks aim to minimize their losses, not help you. They’ll foreclose if it’s beneficial, with their attorneys on their side.

Options for Delinquent Mortgages

Homeowners can consider forbearance agreements, deeds-in-lieu, loan modifications, and bankruptcies. Banks aren’t obliged to offer these, so prompt legal consultation is crucial.

HOA Foreclosure

Yes, HOAs can foreclose for unpaid dues, but recent Texas laws favor homeowners more.

Bank Not Accepting Payments?

Acceleration clauses can demand full loan payment. Contact an attorney immediately.

21-day Notice

This legal notice details your foreclosure sale date. Sent 21 days before the sale.

Reversing Foreclosure

Non-compliance with Texas law can rescind foreclosures. We review loans for compliance violations.

Bankruptcy and Foreclosure

Bankruptcy can stop foreclosure with an automatic stay on creditor actions.

Foreclosure Impacts

Foreclosure hurts credit, increases tax liability, reduces purchasing power, and may leave you liable for unpaid balances. Avoid it at all costs.

Eviction

Houston Eviction Attorneys

Here at Texas Real Estate Attorneys, we proudly represent tenants in evictions and landlord-tenant disputes. We understand unforeseen obstacles can lead to financial burdens and eviction.

It’s crucial to understand your eviction notice, especially if served wrongfully. Contact us if you’ve been served or wrongfully evicted.

Understanding Texas Law Eviction is a legal process in Texas requiring landlords to terminate the lease legally and provide written notice of the violation.

Tenants have three days to vacate or 30 days for month-to-month leases.

Landlords don’t need to allow tenants to fix violations before filing for eviction. Our attorneys ensure landlords follow legal procedures, preventing invalid or illegal evictions. Call Texas Real Estate Attorneys today to defend your rights and stop your eviction.

Deed Preparation

Real Estate Transfer Attorneys

Quit Claim Deed Form

Looking for a quit claim deed form? It may not be what you need. Understanding Texas deed types is crucial.

Deed Types

Warranty Deeds
Special Warranty Deeds
Quit Claim Deeds

Warranty Deeds guarantee the seller’s title and inform you of property conditions, including liens.

Quit Claim Deeds only convey whatever interest the grantor holds at the time—no guarantees.

Quit Claim Deeds are ideal for non-traditional transfers, like:

Parent to child
Adding a spouse
Divorce settlements
Transfers into living wills

However, they don’t ensure clear title and can result in future ownership disputes.

In Texas, Quit Claim Deeds are valid but unreliable for real estate sales. If uncertain about the deed you need, contact Texas Real Estate Attorneys. Our experienced attorneys will guide you to the best solution, ensuring your title is guaranteed. Call us today!

Owner Financing

Houston Owner Financing Attorney

Purchasing a home often involves financing, including options like owner financing, where the buyer finances directly through the seller, bypassing traditional mortgage lenders. The Houston owner finance attorneys at Guerra | Days Law Group assist you from start to finish.

How Owner Financing Works

In owner financing, the buyer makes regular payments to the seller, who extends credit for the purchase price. A promissory note outlines the loan’s terms, including interest rates and repayment schedules. Once documentation is complete, the buyer obtains title to the property.

Advantages

For Buyers: Faster and cheaper closing, flexible down payments, and options for those unable to secure a mortgage.
For Sellers: Potential to sell “as is,” earn better investment returns, retain title if the buyer defaults, and sell faster.

Owner financing has benefits and risks. Contact Guerra | Days Law Group for questions and documentation assistance.

Real Estate Litigation

Houston Real Estate Litigation Attorney

Bridging the Gap in Real Estate Litigation

Consumers facing real estate litigation often choose between costly large firms or affordable but inexperienced boutique firms. Texas Real Estate Attorneys bridge this gap, offering competent and accessible legal services.

Competence is crucial in real estate litigation. Our experienced attorneys understand the complexities and evolving processes, ensuring effective representation.

Myth: All litigators are trial experts. In reality, many lack courtroom experience. Our attorneys have both trial and ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) expertise.

We utilize video depositions, allowing no room for evasive responses, crucial for stronger cases. Our in-house equipment makes this affordable.

Technology also plays a significant role in presentations. We use split-screen software displaying video depositions and transcripts, keeping judges and jurors engaged.

Don’t be left behind. Contact Texas Real Estate Attorneys for a free consultation and leverage our expertise and advanced tools for your real estate litigation needs.

HOA Bylaws

Homeowners Associations (HOAs)

Homeowners Associations (HOAs) are corporations formed by developers to market, manage, and sell homes within a subdivision. They offer benefits like security, community areas, and maintenance, funded by resident fees, known as assessments. HOAs are increasingly common in Houston, San Antonio, and the Rio Grande Valley.

Restrictive Covenants & Bylaws

HOAs operate under bylaws, which are rules residents must follow, and restrictive covenants, which limit property use (e.g., paint colors, tree planting). These must conform to Texas Property Code standards.

Neighbor Disputes

HOA bylaws govern neighbor disputes, typically resolved by a board hearing. If you disagree with a decision, Guerra | Days Law Group can help.

HOA Legal Action

Falling behind on assessments allows HOAs to place a lien on your property and possibly foreclose. They may also charge attorneys’ fees. Texas laws protect homeowners from wrongful fees. Contact Texas Real Estate Attorneys for legal assistance.

HOA Foreclosing Your Home?

Believe it or not, in most cases, your Homeowner’s Association does have the power to foreclose. Call one of our attorneys if you are experiencing this!

Texas Eminent Domain Attorney

Houston Eminent Domain Attorneys

It’s Your Property, You Deserve Fair Compensation!

In Texas, most land is privately owned, making eminent domain cases common. Government and private entities can seize land under Texas law, often offering unfair compensation. Guerra | Days Law Group advocates for your property rights.

Eminent Domain & Condemnation

Both the U.S. and Texas Constitutions mandate “just compensation” for seized property, but this is often misinterpreted. Condemning authorities present lowball offers and use intimidation tactics. You don’t have to accept these offers.

Houston Condemnation Attorneys

Never accept a condemnation offer without consulting us. We negotiate better terms and ensure you receive fair compensation. Contact Texas Real Estate Attorneys today to protect your property rights.

★★★★★ Sep 2024 Brandon Brown
This was my first time having to retain a lawyer. I thought I was buying a house and property. Not realizing the other party never intended on giving me … More the title or deed. I came to Guerra Days office for a consult and had this weight lifted when they said I had a good case on my side. They were straight upfront about the fees. There was no surprise, no hidden cost. I knew everything up front they were willing to work with me.And if it wasn't for Rick Guerra, I would not have my house or property today.He does not give up. He is a fighter, and he's honest. And you know, it's really hard to find that nowadays. I just had someone take advantage of me, I paid way over what I owed on the house and property. There wasn't much trust left. It took some time to settle the caseDue to the other party not being willing to work it out, Rick didn't give up. It doesn't matter what anyone says. Nobody's perfect, but to have an attorney. Be totally honest with you from the start. It makes you feel like you can trust again, especially when you feel like everyone's let you down.Rick has principles, and he stands by them. I didn't work with all of the other attorneys or staff, but the few that I did were very quick to respond and very kind and helpful. After we settled, I had tears inside and out. This person ( Rick) I didn't even know just saved my home and did so much more than he had to. So truth about client and her attorney . You can't make this stuff up. Rick Guerra and partners really are far and few between the best and most honest people to represent you. Just call and talk to them. Trust me, you will see what I mean. Also, one more thing I met a beautiful amazing woman who just talked to me and just listened as a friend. I never knew, and she really touched my heart(Monica)So thank you, Rick Guerra and partners, for all you did. I will never forget this.

Guerra Days was the first law firm I have ever used and plan to use going forward for all my legal matters.My case involved a very sensitive family property … More dispute which made me hesitant to obtain a lawyer in the first place as I ran the risk of making the legal family matter worse.After making the decision to obtain a lawyer, I quickly found Guerra Days online and gave them a call. In a little over a week both Rick and his paralegal Angella were working on my case.Rick is a force to be reckoned with which worried me at first as I didn't want my family matters to escalate due to this. I quickly realized this wasn't an issue and that I made the right decision. Rick and his staff showed both myself and family nothing but respect and empathy through this entire process. They were always just a phone call or text away and happy to answer any questions I had.Lawsuits can be stressful, but Rick and his team were always transparent every step of the way. They didn't fabricate issues; they were honest and to the point and always gave me options and suggestions. I was never pressured into making a decision I didn't like and was always given the pros and cons of each choice.When it came to pricing the team at Guerra Days was always transparent about the cost of everything and where your money was going. If you ever had any questions or concerns they were always happy to answer.Through this whole process I think the most valuable thing gained was the knowledge and experience of this entire process. I learned the in's and out's of my case, but also learned a lot about the legal system as well as the entire process of a lawsuit from start to finish. The team at Guerra Days was always happy to answer any and all questions I had and really went in depth if I asked for a more detailed explanation.I would highly recommend Guerra Days Law Group to anyone that is looking for a law firm the makes the process of your lawsuit easier and less stressful
