Where does one property begin and another end? It seems like a simple question, but, over a period of years, neighbors can develop vastly different interpretations as to where the boundary line between their properties truly lies. A boundary line dispute might arise from survey discrepancies, various or overlapping legal descriptions, assumptions based on existing fences or landscape boundaries, or a myriad of other reasons. Many times a boundary line that was never in question is suddenly challenged by a new owner.

While the boundary lines of your property aren’t always clear, you don’t have to leave it up to chance. Having an experienced real estate attorney assist you in drafting an enforceable boundary line agreement can help alleviate uncertainty and resolve any inconsistencies or disputes between neighbors.
