boundary disputeA title dispute can arise when multiple parties claim competing interest in the same piece of real estate. The claim may relate to the proper owner or whether a valid mortgage exists on the property. Such disputes may also arise when a title company has failed to discover a claim against the real estate. In such instances, it is often necessary and critical to obtain a court judgment to establish who the legal owner is to the real estate, known as quieting title. Our firm has handled numerous actions on behalf of title companies, corporations and individuals.
Simply put, an easement is a right to use another person’s property for some limited purpose. The most common form of easement, is the right to travel across another person’s property to access property. Although many easements are granted by deed, there are multiple instances in Northern California where no recorded easement claim exist. However, a party may well have rights even without such a recorded instrument. Furthermore, even with a recorded deed, disputes over the scope and location of the easement often arise. Easement claims can be critical to the value of a person’s real estate, as there is little value to one’s land if they cannot access the property. Our firm has handled hundreds of easement claims, including one of the most recently published easement cases. See Cottonwood Duplexes v. Barlow.
It is not uncommon for neighboring property owners to not have a clear understanding of their respective property lines. In such instances parties may unintentionally encroach onto a neighbor’s property. Or, in some instances a neighbor may simply disregard a property line and construct improvements upon a neighbors land. In such instances, it is not uncommon for the neighbors to develop a significant animustoward one another. Our firm has handled numerous boundary disputes through trial. However, these matter can often be resolved through careful work on behalf of experienced counsel.
