Real estate is a complex and multifaceted field that involves numerous legal concerns, and there are a variety of reasons that disputes may occur. When conflicts arise, real estate litigation may become necessary to resolve these issues through the court system. Buyers or sellers who are involved in real estate transactions or property owners who encounter legal concerns can work with an attorney to determine their best options for resolving disputes through civil litigation or other methods. Some common issues that can lead to litigation include:
Property Boundary Disputes
There are a variety of situations where property owners may encounter property line or boundary disputes. These disputes can arise when neighboring property owners have disagreements over where property lines are located, or they may be related to encroachments, easements, adverse possession claims, or conflicting survey results. In these cases, litigation may be used to address the legal issues involved in these disputes, and steps may be taken to determine the accurate location of property boundaries and settle any related ownership rights or obligations.
