The Reasons You Need an Attorney for Boundary Disputes

When you purchase a home, you do more than just buy the home, you also buy a tract of property. That property is solely yours to use and protect. Boundary disputes occur all the time because one homeowner is trying to install fencing, garages, pools, and ponds. The problem arises from the location of the installation. Each affected party thinks they know where the property line is and that they are correct, but at least one of you must be incorrect. This leads to a boundary dispute case arising to determine who owns the property on which the installation is taking place. It is a legal matter that, like all other legal matters, you should hire an attorney for. Here is why:

• Emotions: Boundary disputes can be topics of fierce debate. All property owners involved are emotionally charged up and that makes it difficult to get to a solution. A lawyer will help get rid of the emotions involved and stick to the facts of the case, making a resolution much more likely.

• Law Complexities: The law is not simple or static. It is complex, ever-changing, and sometimes open to the interpretation of individual judges. This makes it hard for non-legal professionals to defend themselves in the judicial system. Our real estate attorney is well-versed in real estate law and can properly defend your property rights in a boundary dispute case.

• Court Proceedings: Courtrooms can be intimidating places for the average person. Most of us are not accustomed to going to court and getting in front of a judge. There is also a negative connotation that is associated with going to court and certain procedures and jargon used. Our lawyer will represent you in any court proceedings and handle anything that arises.
