Your real estate litigation lawyer in Ottawa/Gatineau and surrounding areas

Real estate disputes can quickly become a source of stress and uncertainty. Ms. Sophie-Anne Décarie, real estate lawyer in Gatineau, offers her expertise to effectively resolve your real estate disputes, whether they involve rights of way, encroachment, servitude, or neighborhood disturbances.

Using a strategic and compassionate approach, we prioritize negotiation and mediation to protect your rights while preserving neighborly relations. However, when legal action becomes unavoidable, we are committed to defending your interests with rigor and determination.

Real Estate Disputes: Find a Solution Before Going to Court

Where a real estate dispute arises, it is often preferable to reach an amicable settlement to avoid lengthy legal proceedings. We assist you with:

  • Resolving a neighborhood dispute (noise, nuisances, privacy, fences, hedges)
  • Right of way or easement
  • Challenging an encroachment or adverse possession
  • Settling a co-ownership dispute
  • Resolving a conflict in a real estate transaction (forcing a purchase, canceling a sale)

When the situation requires it, we take firm and targeted action, including formal notices, strategic discussions, and structured negotiations to achieve a swift and effective settlement.

Legal Intervention in Real Estate Disputes: Defend Your Rights in Court

If an amicable settlement is not possible, Ms. Sophie-Anne Décarie is ready to represent you in court for:

  • Judicial Demarcation : Legal determination of property boundaries.
  • Recognition of Acquisitive Prescription : Acquisition of a property right through prolonged use.
  • Injunction Proceedings : Immediate protection of your rights (e.g., preventing the construction of a disputed structure).
  • Disputes Related to Promise to Purchase and Transfer of Title : Protection of your interests in the event of a contentious transaction.
  • Actions Against Encroachments and Abusive Uses : Defense of your property rights.
  • Co-ownership Disputes : Resolution of conflicts between co-owners and condominium associations.
  • Recourse for Partition to End Joint Ownership : Separation of jointly held real estate.
