  • Napa County Real Estate & Foreclosure Lawyer

When most people think about foreclosures in Napa County that threaten to seize real estate, they think about a family’s home. However, many businesses also sign mortgage agreements for commercial property. The fact is that the banks and other lenders who front the money for these purchases have the same right to seize land from businesses as they do from families.

An Napa County commercial foreclosure defense lawyer may be able to help business owners who have fallen behind on their payments. The dedicated foreclosure attorneys at our firm could explore your current financial situation, explain how foreclosure laws work in the commercial sector, represent your best interests during negotiations, and file formal legal challenges to your case.

Working with Businesses to Provide Financial Analysis

Businesses may fall behind on their mortgages for many reasons. For some, temporary economic downturns may have led to a short-term lack of funds. For others, systemic problems with their business models may make future profits difficult to imagine. By examining a company’s finances in detail, an Napa County commercial foreclosure defense attorney could help suggest a plan for the future.

Contract Disputes

Agreements are important when it comes to every real estate transaction. Regardless of whether you have recently bought or sold property, have entered into a tenancy agreement, or are involved in land development contracts, enforcing one’s rights through contracts is crucial. Sadly, disputes arising from such matters usually require litigation to protect your legal rights. In these instances, the presence of a knowledgeable attorney can be a helpful partner.

Contract disputes can have a detrimental effect on both a company or an individual’s financial situation. With the aid of a knowledgeable contract dispute attorney in the area, opposing parties may be able to come to an understanding and possibly settle the dispute in a civilized manner. However, in some situations, lodging a lawsuit in a civil court is essential to protect your interests under the agreement. During such instances, an experienced legal expert can support in persuading the judge and panel to interpret the agreement in a favorable manner and in the end reach a positive decision.

Land Use

Disputes involving land use concerns disputes between private parties and additional property owners or government bodies concerning legitimate use of real estate. These usually involve alleged violations of state, federal, or local laws that govern how an owner may develop or use the land. If the two parties are unable to reach an agreement as to how to resolve the dispute, litigation may become essential.

This is where a seasoned legal professional may be able to help.

They could then file all necessary court documents and present arguments before judges and juries that help support your position

Deficiency Judgement

The foreclosure on your real estate may seem to be the end of your financial problems. However, if a subsequent sale of the property fails to bring funds sufficient to cover your debts, the lender may then ask a court to create a deficiency judgement. This could leave you responsible for the remaining payments.

An Napa County deficiency judgement lawyer could help contest the creation or legality of these orders. They could argue that the law does not allow their creation due to the type of loan or that the kind of property itself is exempt from these collection efforts.

Property Tax

An alleged failure to pay taxes can have serious legal consequences. Not least among these is the ability of the government to attach your real estate to this debt. If this attachment still does not result in a proper payment, the government may move to foreclose on the property.

An Napa County property tax foreclosure lawyer is prepared to help. They could work to dispute the legality of the lien, evaluate payments that you have made on your taxes, and even negotiate a settlement with the tax authorities that could result in the end of the lien that led to the foreclosure case.

Options that Allow the Business to Remain in Possession of the Land

One option is contesting challenge any legal processes which the lender has used to initiate the foreclosure. A both of state and federal laws detail the steps that a lender must take in order to initiate foreclosure cases. If they have failed to these steps, an experienced commercial foreclosure defense lawyer in Napa County may pursue suitable legal action in order to stop the foreclosure and permit your company to remain in business.

Choices that May Allow a Business Owner to Escape Debt

Business owners may come to the realization that no amount of negotiation or legal action will allow them to continue to make payments on a mortgage. When this happens, it may be best to pursue bankruptcy as an option. For small business owners, a common Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy could see the discharge of business debt in the form of mortgage payments.

When a company is not tied to an individual’s finances, a Chapter 11 case will see a court overseeing the reorganization of a business’s assets. In some cases, this will see a court ordering the sale of a physical location in exchange for the discharge of debt. A professional foreclosure defense attorney in Napa County could help determine if a bankruptcy case is the best option to avoid the long-term financial penalties involved in a foreclosure.

Great Attorney with an Amazing Staff I contacted Jason Estavillo for my Sister and Daughter who needed help with a foreclosure on their house. They hired Jason in December of 2014 who was quick to stop the foreclosure in a very short time. They are still in the house due to his diligence. We are thankful for finding his law firm on the internet. We were given a free consultation and felt very confident by speaking to him that he would do a great job for us. We are so very glad that we made the right decision. His law firm really does care about his clients. We also decided to hire his law firm for another case where the previous attorney said we needed someone who was knowledgeable with the appeal process. The previous attorney felt strongly that if we hired the right attorney that we could appeal the case and win that appeal. We are now in the process of the appeal on that case as well as the one on the house. We are so very appreciative that Jason Estavillo was able to take both of these cases which were both from previous attorneys and were both for unlawful foreclosures. Jason Estavillo is the best attorney that we have ever seen. He is very confident and knowledge with the law. Jason and his staff are remarkable people. They are all there as a team working to help us and answer any and all questions that we have had. His law firm has been very on top of what is happening with our case at all times.

I recently engaged Jason Estavillo for legal services in connection with keeping my home. I'm an attorney myself (that's why I'm posting anonymously), but I don't practice the type of law Jason specializes in. Jason has been great. I've been able to stay in my home as a result of his efforts. He's not a miracle worker; it's been hard. But he's achieved very, very good results for me and I've been very pleased with his results so far. He's a very good communicator and an effective advocate. I'd recommend Jason to anyone seeking a strong advocate for foreclosure litigation.
