Real-World Help for Residential and Small-Commercial Property Issues

Your home or investment property is often your largest asset. When something goes wrong—whether it is a title problem, a boundary dispute with a neighbor, or a contract issue at closing—you need clear advice and efficient solutions.

Andrews Law PLC represents property owners, buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and small investors in real estate matters throughout Henrico and Central Virginia. The goal is to identify the problem quickly, understand your options, and develop a strategy that makes financial sense.

Common Real Estate Matters

  • Title and ownership disputes
  • Quiet-title actions and adverse-possession claims
  • Boundary lines, encroachments, and fence disputes
  • Easements, access, and shared driveways
  • Issues with deeds, covenants, and restrictions
  • Disputes involving homeowners’ associations
  • Residential landlord-tenant disputes
  • Contract disputes arising from purchase and sale agreements

Preventing Litigation Where Possible

Not every real estate conflict needs to become a lawsuit. In many cases, careful review of the deed history, survey, and correspondence can support a negotiated resolution that protects your rights without the cost of a full trial. When possible, Andrews Law will help you explore options such as:

  • Negotiated easements or boundary-line agreements
  • Corrective deeds and releases
  • Structured move-out or repair agreements
  • Settlement of disputed ownership interests

When Litigation Is Necessary

Some disputes cannot be resolved informally. When court action is required to clear title, enforce an agreement, or protect your rights in real property, Andrews Law PLC can prepare and pursue:

  • Quiet-title and declaratory-judgment actions
  • Partition suits between co-owners
  • Specific-performance claims based on purchase contracts
  • Claims and defenses in landlord-tenant matters

If you have received a demand letter, lawsuit paperwork, or confusing notice involving your property, speak with an attorney before responding.

Real Estate FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer for a quiet title action in Virginia?

Quiet title actions can involve complex deed histories and strict procedural rules. Having an attorney familiar with Virginia real estate litigation can help you avoid costly mistakes and delays.

Can a boundary dispute be resolved without going to court?

Often, yes. In many cases, a combination of surveys, deed review, and negotiated boundary-line agreements can resolve the issue without a trial. When that is not possible, court may be necessary to clarify title.
