What is Real Estate Law?
Real estate law is a branch of law that deals with legal issues related to real property, which includes raw land, improved property, agricultural property, residential and commercial property. Real estate law encompasses a wide range of legal issues and is governed by a combination of federal and state laws. It also can involve both transactional and litigation matters. Some of the more typical matters we address for clients are family transfers, boundary line adjustments, buy-sell agreements, deeds of trust and liens, deed transfers, well agreements, easements, and road maintenance agreements.
Real Estate Law in Montana
In Montana, the foundation of real estate law is established through the Montana Code Annotated (MCA). This comprehensive set of statutes encompasses a wide range of topics relevant to real estate, including property transactions, land use, property rights, landlord-tenant relationships, and various other aspects of real property law.
Shaping Montana's Real Estate Legal Framework
In parallel with the MCA, the development of real estate law in Montana is significantly influenced by case law. Montana's judicial system has generated a body of legal precedents and interpretations through court decisions over the years. These judicial rulings provide guidance and clarification on the application of the statutes outlined in the Montana Code Annotated.
Together, the Montana Code Annotated and the body of case law work in tandem to shape the landscape of real estate law in the state. Property owners, buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and other parties involved in real estate transactions and disputes rely on these legal sources to understand their rights, obligations, and legal remedies within Montana's real estate domain.
