Land Law & Land Disputes

Land cases are won on the title record, not on who says what

A land dispute is decided by the title documents and the survey plan, not by testimony about what was agreed years ago. So we work the record first: pulling the title history at the Land Office, checking how the deed came to be issued, and applying for a re-survey where the plan and the fence line disagree. From there we litigate — adverse possession, both claiming and defending; encroachment by a neighbour; necessary ways and servitudes; applications to cancel or correct an improperly issued title; eviction of occupiers; and the most common problem of all, inherited land sitting in several heirs' names with no agreement on how to divide it.
