Season 3, Episode 5
Riker Danzig partners Stuart Lederman and Rudy Randazzo were our special guests for the 5th episode of Season 3, moderated by our co-hosts Michael O’Donnell and Bethany Abele. Stuart and Rudy practice in Riker’s Governmental Affairs and Litigation practices with extensive experience in Eminent Domain and Condemnation Law as well as Construction Law, regularly navigating issues of title, and frequently interacting with our title insurance attorneys at the intersection of title law and real property condemnations. Stuart and Rudy represent both governmental entities who are acquiring properties, and also property owners whose properties are targeted to be taken for particular government projects.
What You Will Hear on This Episode:
In addition, Stuart and Rudy shared some interesting anecdotes from their wide-ranging experience representing government agencies tasked with taking property, including allowing a “jury view” of the condemned property during a trial on the taking, and another case where the property owner resisted the taking by hiring private militia to face down the bulldozers, creating a standoff between the armed militia and the local National Guard brought in by the governmental entity. They also touched on their related Construction Litigation practice and the dovetailing of the two practices, particularly when temporary easements are recorded on taken properties for large construction projects, and construction delays ensue with adverse effects.
Next, Bethany interviewed our newest associate in the Title Insurance practice, Shelley Wu, who discussed Moldovan v. Long, No. 1 CA-CV 23-0470, 2024 Ariz. App., Unpub. LEXIS 460 (Ct. App. May 30, 2024). In this case in the Arizona Court of Appeals, the court affirmed a summary judgment in favor of a settlement/escrow agent, finding no breach of duty where the agent sufficiently disclosed to the seller the existence of a potentially fraudulent deed but did not further investigate or determine its validity.
Bethany and Shelley discussed many of the noteworthy statements in the appeals court’s ruling that sheds light on the responsibilities of disclosing additional deeds, and concerning negligent misrepresentation claims.
