Virginia Real Property Law and Practice

Virginia Real Property Law and Practice is a practical Virginia real estate law resource published by LexisNexis. The book is written for lawyers, law students, real estate professionals, and practitioners who work with property rights, transactions, land use, ownership, development, and real estate disputes in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Real property law is not only about land and buildings. It is about the legal rights, documents, institutions, and procedures that allow property to be owned, transferred, developed, financed, leased, protected, challenged, and resolved. In practice, real estate issues often sit at the intersection of personal planning, business decisions, family wealth, investment, development, and public regulation.

This resource is intended to help practitioners understand how Virginia real property law operates in practice and how property rights are created, transferred, challenged, and enforced.

What the Book Covers

Virginia Real Property Law and Practice addresses major areas of Virginia real estate law, including:

  • Foundational principles of Virginia real property law
  • Ownership interests, conveyancing, deeds, and recording
  • Real estate transactions, contracts, title examination, closings, and financing

  • Land use, zoning, development, rezoning, and proffers
  • Real property litigation and dispute resolution
  • Partition, boundary disputes, fraud, and eminent domain
  • Estate planning involving real property

A Practical Reference for Virginia Real Estate Matters

Virginia real property law combines long-standing common-law principles with modern statutes, regulations, local ordinances, financing structures, and litigation doctrines. Real estate matters are rarely limited to one document or one issue. A deed may raise title questions. A contract may involve financing or closing risks. A zoning issue may affect development, use, value, or future disputes. An estate plan may depend on how real property is titled, transferred, or held.

This book is organized to help practitioners identify those issues, understand the legal framework, and approach real estate matters with practical judgment.
