Encroachment Disputes

Encroachment disputes arise when one property owner unintentionally builds or extends their property over the boundary line of a neighboring property. This can involve fences, buildings, trees, or other structures. Such disputes often create conflicts over property rights and can lead to legal challenges. Resolving these disputes typically involves determining the correct boundaries through surveys, consulting title deeds, and sometimes negotiating solutions with neighbors. In some cases, court intervention may be necessary to establish ownership rights or compensate for the encroachment. Clear communication and understanding of property laws can help prevent and resolve these conflicts.
