Boundary Disputes: Resolving Client Conflicts Training Seminar

Knowledgeably Prevent - Or Handle - Boundary Disputes

Your client's neighbor is encroaching on, or claiming ownership of, part of the client's property. You need to act quickly to find out what your client's rights are, and where the boundary line really is. If you fail to resolve the dispute, your client could lose title to that land forever.

This information-packed program will make you a better advocate for your client's property rights. After attending, you'll be able to use a land survey to identify problems and understand what to do when the title transfer is not written down or recorded. Knowledgeably address water boundaries and right-of-way issues when problems arise. Use our powerful resolution strategies that can save you a trip to the courtroom, and be prepared to litigate if your pre-trial settlement attempts don't work out. Give your clients the top-notch advice they need when it comes to important property matters by attending this important program.

Identify problems with zoning, restrictions and encroachments on a survey, and take the steps necessary to rectify them.
Confidently deal with property that was obtained through adverse possession, intestate succession, acquiescence or parol agreement.
Use boundary agreements, affidavits and quiet title actions to resolve boundary disputes.
Handle right-of-way issues including roads, prescriptive rights and adverse possession.
