Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: Illegally sold land

you probably do. This is a complex issue that will involve a lot of investigation and discovery. You will need to go to Chancery COUrt to set aside the deed. There may also be criminal impications. You must hire an attorney for this. It is too complex. Jeff Weiner in my office can give you advise.

Re: Illegally sold land

It sounds as if you do have a cause of action against your former president. You may even be able to have the transfer set aside if it can be shown that the purchaser knew that the transfer was improper according to your rules.

That said, there are a lot of questions to be answered before a claim could be made with confidence. To tell how to proceed, I would need to know more about your community organization, its rules, and its history. Everything about the transaction that led to this transfer is also important.

Now that you are aware of the problem, it is important that you do not delay in pursuing your claim. If the property is subsequently sold, you will probably lose the ability to ever get it back. The weight of certain arguments that we might make also decreases the longer you have knowledge of the problem and do not act.

A more detailed answer than that would require a review of the other information that you have. If you would like to discuss the matter with me, please call using the contact information associated with this answer.
