Michel Law represents owners, heirs, and estate fiduciaries in contested real property matters across New York. The firm handles deed fraud, quiet title actions, fraudulent conveyances, partition proceedings, and real property disputes arising out of estate administration — the kind of litigation where the record title must be set right and the stakes are measured in a family home or a decedent's single largest asset.
Real property litigation moves on two tracks at once — the paper record at the clerk's office and the people who stand to lose or gain from what that record says. Michel Law treats both as the case. The firm reconstructs chains of title before pleadings are filed, coordinates filings with Surrogate's Court when a decedent is involved, and sequences federal and state proceedings when fraudulent bankruptcy petitions are part of the scheme. Every matter is handled directly by Fabrice K. Michel from intake through judgment.
The firm concentrates on the real property matters where the record itself is in dispute — where a forged signature, a fraudulent conveyance, or a contested chain of title has placed ownership at risk. Each sub-practice below reflects active matters in the firm's current docket.
Real property litigation rewards early action. A forged deed on the record for weeks is harder to unwind than one caught within days. A chain of conveyances to downstream LLCs is harder to defeat after the final transferee has recorded. Engaging counsel at discovery — not after the first downstream buyer is in place — preserves remedies that otherwise close.
