Real Estate questions, cited
What must a home seller disclose in California?
Sellers of residential property (1–4 units) must deliver a Transfer Disclosure Statement describing known material facts and defects (Cal. Civ. Code § 1102 et seq.), plus a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement (Civ. Code § 1103) covering flood, fire, and seismic zones. Deliberately concealing known material defects supports fraud claims running three years from discovery (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 338(d)).
How does adverse possession work in California?
A claimant must show five years of actual, open, hostile, and continuous possession under claim of right or color of title, and payment of all property taxes on the parcel during those five years (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §§ 321–325). The tax-payment requirement defeats most casual encroachment claims; boundary disputes more often proceed as prescriptive easement or agreed-boundary theories.
Can I force the sale of a jointly owned property in California?
Generally yes, through a partition action: a co-owner is ordinarily entitled to partition as of right (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 872.710). For inherited homes, the Partition of Real Property Act (Code Civ. Proc. § 874.311 et seq.) adds appraisal and buyout rights that let family co-owners purchase the interest of the co-owner seeking sale before a forced sale occurs.
What is a quiet title action?
A lawsuit under Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 760.010 et seq. asking the superior court to determine all adverse claims to a property and settle title in the rightful owner. It is the standard vehicle for clearing clouded title (stale deeds of trust, forged conveyances, easement disputes, or competing inheritance claims), and judgment binds all parties named and served.
Is a handshake deal for land enforceable in California?
Usually not. The statute of frauds requires contracts for the sale of real property, or leases longer than one year, to be in writing and signed (Cal. Civ. Code § 1624(a)(3)). Narrow exceptions exist for part performance and estoppel, but they are litigated uphill, real property deals belong on paper.
