New York real estate law specialists must maintain thorough knowledge of state property statutes, including the Real Property Law and Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL). Practice areas encompass residential and commercial property transfers, lease drafting, boundary disputes, zoning variance requests, and mortgage foreclosures.
