What is the difference between a real estate dispute and a foreclosure?

A real estate dispute and a foreclosure are both types of litigation related to real estate law in California. Generally speaking, a real estate dispute involves a disagreement between two or more parties over the ownership, use, or value of real estate. This could include disagreements over the title of a piece of property, boundary disputes, or disagreements about the terms of a lease or contract. A foreclosure is an action taken by a lender when a borrower fails to make payments according to the terms of their loan agreement. A foreclosure involves the lender taking possession of the property and selling it to recover the amount owed on the loan. The key difference between a real estate dispute and a foreclosure is that a real estate dispute does not necessarily involve the lender or the borrower; it only involves two or more parties who disagree about the property or an agreement related to the property. In contrast, a foreclosure involves the lender and borrower; the lender is initiating the action to recover what is owed by the borrower.
