Frequently asked questions from Brookfield clients
How do I resolve a commercial lease dispute in Waukesha County?
Start by reviewing the lease’s breach provisions, cure periods, and mitigation clauses. If direct negotiation fails, commercial litigation can protect your business from unlawful eviction or financial damages.
How do you handle a boundary line dispute between commercial neighbors in Brookfield?
Obtain a certified survey, review recorded historical deeds, and, if needed, use a quiet title action to resolve the conflicting claims.
How does a subcontractor file a construction lien in Waukesha County?
Under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 779, subcontractors and suppliers generally must give the owner a written notice of lien rights within 60 days after first furnishing labor or materials. They must then serve a 30-day notice of intent before filing. The lien claim must be filed with the Waukesha County Clerk of Circuit Court within 6 months after the last labor or materials were furnished. Missing a deadline can void the lien.
What assets are subject to probate in Waukesha County?
Assets held solely in the deceased person’s name with no beneficiary designation. Assets with transfer-on-death or payable-on-death designations, or held jointly with survivorship, usually avoid probate.
