How Common Are Land Boundary Disputes?

1
Property Boundary Conflict - What Should I Do?
2
Two neighbouring landowners may come into a
disagreement over conflicting property boundaries
for a variety of reasons. Why do land boundaries
often conflict? The most common reason of
boundary disputes is when two landowners claim
the same area of property due to unclear legal
descriptions.
3
The deeds in question may genuinely identify the
same area of the property, or the descriptions
ambiguous wording may lead each landowner to
believe the land is his or hers. Its possible
that incorrect legal descriptions were prepared
and recorded by personnel who lacked the
necessary qualifications, such as laypeople with
no surveying experience.

Many such incidents arose in the early days of
the United States, especially when the land was
granted by European government officials who had
never visited North America and relied on
incorrect maps. Furthermore, ancient land
surveying methods, such as the metes and bounds
system, relied on markers like trees that were
likely to change over time. Based on todays
geographical facts, such depictions of the area
can be difficult or impossible to understand.

• Boundary conflicts can arise simply because legal
  boundaries were not checked before construction
  in some circumstances. This is why, before any
  structure is built, a land survey is required,
  especially if the location is thought to be close
  to a legal property line. Knowing where your
  property lines are can help you avoid future
  disputes. Of course, difficult neighbours may
  ignore surveys for their own reasons, but a
  property survey completed by a professional land
  surveyor is important evidence of the legal
  boundary.

• While a survey is necessary for negotiation or
  mediation, the courts are the only ones who may
  determine property ownership in the event of a
  disagreement. Qualified land surveyors can serve
  as expert witnesses in court to help resolve such
  disagreements. If you believe this could come to
  that, make sure you ask your land surveyor if he
  or she is willing and able to testify as an
  expert witness before hiring them to do your
  boundary survey. For more information about
