Case Details
Our client approached attorney Matt Zimmerman after facing a significant hurdle in the process of selling his ranchland property – multiple “clouds on title” that traditional title services couldn’t resolve. The client’s ownership of the property was complicated by deed records listing seven different entities due to an individual who, decades ago, attempted to deed interests in the property to several universities and foundations across Texas. Texas property law that is applicable is outlined in the state property code – conveyances.
Legal Strategy
Understanding the complexity of the situation, Attorney Zimmerman employed his skill in real estate law to affirm the client’s rightful ownership. By initiating court proceedings, he leveraged the doctrine of adverse possession, a legal pathway to define and establish ownership against those previously recorded.
Client Outcome
Attorney Zimmerman’s strategic approach, which included meticulous negotiation, led to a successful settlement with some entities and effectively nullified claims from others. This decisive legal maneuvering ensured that our client gained full, unambiguous ownership of the ranchland, effectively clearing the title and allowing the property sale to proceed smoothly.
