Real Estate Attorney in Newport Beach CA

Rokita Law represents property owners, investors, developers, and businesses throughout Newport Beach and Orange County. We handle both sides of real estate law: the transactions that move property and the disputes that follow when a deal breaks down. That work includes contract review, title problems, boundary conflicts, co-ownership disputes, and partition actions.

Real estate in Orange County moves fast and carries real financial weight. A coastal purchase, a development deal, or a fight between co-owners can turn on a single clause or a missed filing. Our job is to protect your position before a problem starts, and to litigate hard when one already has.

Co-Ownership Disputes and Partition Actions

When co-owners cannot agree on what to do with a property, a partition action gives one owner a court-supervised way to force a resolution. We represent co-owners across Orange County and Southern California in these disputes, from inherited family homes to tenant-in-common investments and high-value coastal property.

Since January 1, 2023, the California Partition of Real Property Act has controlled most of these cases. The law added a cotenant buyout right, an open-market sale requirement, and court-supervised independent appraisals. We represent both sides: owners who want to force a sale, and owners who want to keep the property through a buyout.

Two guides to help you understand where you stand:

• The California Partition of Real Property Act: a full breakdown of the 2023 law that now governs most co-ownership disputes.
• How to Force the Sale of a Co-Owned Property in California: the partition process, costs, and timeline, step by step.

Whether you want to force a sale, stop one, or negotiate a buyout, we are ready to advocate for you.

Why Hire a Real Estate Attorney in Newport Beach CA

Most real estate problems are cheaper to prevent than to fix. A contract reviewed before signing, a title cleared before closing, a boundary confirmed before construction: each one heads off a dispute that could otherwise cost far more in court. When a conflict is already underway, early legal guidance shapes how it ends.

We help clients across Newport Beach and Orange County with:

• Contract review and negotiation
• Deed preparation and recording
• Real estate fraud claims
• Boundary and easement disputes
• Land use and zoning matters
• Construction and building contracts
• Partition actions and co-ownership disputes
• Quiet title and adverse possession claims

Real Estate Transactions

Contract Review and Negotiation

Before you sign, the terms should work in your favor. We review purchase agreements, flag the clauses that create risk, and negotiate terms that protect your money and your timeline.

Deed Preparation and Recording

A deed transfers ownership from one party to another. We prepare and record deeds correctly, so the transfer holds up and lands on file with the right county office.

Real Estate Litigation

Buyer and Seller Disputes

Deals fall apart over breach of contract, misrepresented property, or broken promises in the purchase agreement. We represent buyers and sellers, starting with negotiation and moving to litigation when that is what the situation calls for.

Real Estate Fraud

Fraud in a real estate deal can mean false statements, an inflated property value, or mortgage fraud. We represent people who were defrauded, investigate what happened, and pursue recovery in court.

Boundary and Easement Disputes

These fights turn on where a property line sits or who has the right to use a piece of land. We build the record, present the evidence, and push for a resolution that protects your rights.

Partition and Co-Ownership Disputes

When co-owners of Orange County property cannot agree on how to use, manage, or sell it, a partition action provides a court-supervised path forward. Under the Partition of Real Property Act, that now includes a cotenant buyout right, an open-market sale requirement, and independent appraisals. We represent owners forcing a sale and owners fighting to keep the property.

Land Use and Zoning

Zoning and land use rules shape what you can build and how you can use a property. We help clients understand those rules, resolve conflicts, and appear at zoning and land use hearings and appeals.
