How are disputes over property boundaries typically resolved?

Disputes over property boundaries are most commonly resolved through surveys or legal action. A survey conducted by a qualified land surveyor provides a precise measurement of property lines, which can clarify any ambiguities regarding ownership or encroachments. Additionally, if a mutual agreement cannot be reached based on the survey findings, parties may resort to legal action. This involves bringing the dispute to court, where a judge can make a binding decision based on the evidence presented. This two-pronged approach—using surveys to provide factual data and legal channels to enforce resolutions—ensures that property boundaries are clearly established and upheld.
