Are you in a case involving a BOUNDARY AND PROPERTY LINE DISPUTES, EASEMENTS, LAND-LOCKED PROPERTY, QUIET TITLE ACTIONS, and/or TITLE INSURANCE LITIGATION? WE CAN HELP YOU
Florida land rights, property lines and boundary disputes have been around since the time the Spanish settled in St. Augustine. As time has passed, original boundary and property line markers are destroyed or cannot be located; natural boundaries change; and surveyors’ maps and governmental field notes are lost. In the absence of more reliable information, courts sometimes set boundaries where the neighboring parties themselves have agreed, according to the “doctrine of agreed boundaries.”
Many property owners do not know exactly where the true boundaries of their property ae located. Land developers may have visually set out the boundaries between lots being sold by the incorrect placement of common boundary markers. Many lots were created by a self-partition of a large amount of land. Visual boundary markers may not conform to the legal descriptions included in deeds. The result of many such self-partitions was the grant of a block of land on the interior, with no access to public roads and utilities, creating the so-called “land-locked” property.
Disputes over boundaries, property lines, easements and access to land-locked property often involve quiet title legal actions and title insurance litigation.
