The physical extent of ownership of real property is defined by the boundaries of that property and, despite the best efforts of
realtors, lawyers and surveyors, it is not always easy to tell where one person’s property ends and another’s begins.
This is particularly true where owners have constructed improvements such as fences on the wrong side of the legal boundaries, or
have used someone else’s property as their own for an extended period of time. Boundary disputes are usually complex,
requiring reconstruction of historical events, often going back decades. Other forms of boundary disputes involve incorrect
property descriptions and errors in surveying.
