For individuals and businesses
Real estate
Property is often the largest asset a person or business owns, and disputes over it require a careful reading of title deeds and contracts. We act for owners, tenants, buyers and heirs in ownership, tenancy and partition disputes, and review contracts before signature so that disputes are avoided in the first place.

How we handle the file
We start by examining the title deed, the chain of ownership, the contracts and the correspondence, because many property disputes are decided on the documents. A lease registered on the Ejar platform is an enforceable instrument, so in many cases we can apply directly to the Enforcement Court without bringing a full claim. For ownership, partition and title-transfer disputes we draft the statement of claim and file it through Najiz with the competent court, asking for an expert or a site inspection where needed. Before we begin, we explain the risks, the expected cost and the alternatives, such as a settlement between heirs or co-owners.
Common questions
My tenant has stopped paying rent. What can I do?
If the lease is registered on Ejar it is an enforceable instrument, and you can apply to the Enforcement Court for the unpaid rent and, where the law allows, for eviction. An unregistered lease may first require a claim before the court. The procedure depends on the terms of the lease and the facts.
The seller has been paid but refuses to transfer title. What now?
You can bring a claim to compel the seller to transfer title once the sale and payment are proved. The strength of the claim depends on your contract, proof of payment and witnesses, and on whether the deed is free of restrictions that could prevent transfer.
One heir refuses to sell or divide the property. Can they be compelled?
Any co-owner can ask the competent court to partition jointly owned property, and where it cannot be divided without harm the court may order its sale and distribution of the proceeds according to each share. An agreement between the heirs, where achievable, remains quicker and cheaper.
