Transnational housing property rights dispute case: successful recovery of housing shares

Case Overview:

The case involves an international couple, the man (hereinafter referred to as "Mr. Zhang") is a Chinese citizen, the woman (hereinafter referred to as "Mary") is an American citizen. During the course of their relationship, the two jointly purchased a property in the United States, which was registered in Mary's name. However, the two broke up two years later after their relationship broke down, and Zhang asked to divide the property, but Mary refused, arguing that the property belonged to her personal property. Mr. Zhang commissioned our law firm to help him recover his share of the property and resolve the dispute.

Legal Response:

Consultation and evidence gathering:
In the initial consultation, our legal team learned about Mr. Zhang's experience and the background of the case in detail, and collected relevant evidence, including the house purchase contract, transfer records, correspondence records, and proof of the two parties' living together. We provided Mr. Zhang with professional legal advice and analyzed the legal basis of the case and possible litigation strategies.

Investigate the background of the property:
We conducted a detailed investigation of the purchase process, source of funds, and registration of the property involved, including the purchase contract, bank statement, property registration information, etc. Through the investigation, we found that Mr. Zhang had a large amount of money invested in the process of buying the house, and the two sides had an oral agreement and agreed to jointly own the property, which provided strong support for our subsequent litigation.

Preparation for the trial:
We assisted Mr. Zhang in sorting out all the evidence materials, drafted a civil complaint and filed a civil lawsuit, asking the court to confirm Mr. Zhang's co-ownership of the property and divide the property. At the same time, we applied to the court for property preservation to prevent Mary from transferring the property during the proceedings.

Outcomes and recoveries:
After the court decision took effect, we assisted Mr. Zhang in applying for enforcement and successfully divided the property through the court's execution procedure. The two parties eventually reached a settlement agreement, with Mr. Zhang receiving a corresponding share of the property and Mary receiving corresponding financial compensation.

Outcome and Summary:

Through our professional legal services, Mr. Zhang not only successfully confirmed his co-ownership of the property, but also divided the property and maintained his legal rights and interests. The successful handling of this case not only saved the economic loss for Mr. Zhang, but also played a guiding role in the real estate disputes similar to transnational emotional disputes.
