03 Property Law FAQ

What should I do about a boundary dispute with my neighbor?

Start by gathering your deed, any survey, and documentation of the disputed area. Avoid escalating directly. An attorney can review the records, often obtain a professional survey, and help resolve the matter through negotiation or, if necessary, a court action.

What is a quiet title action?

A quiet title action is a lawsuit to establish clear ownership of property and resolve competing claims, liens or clouds on title, resulting in a court determination of who holds valid title.

How long do I have to bring a property claim?

It depends on the type of claim; different property and real estate claims carry different limitation periods, some lengthy and others short. Because the rules are technical, it is best to consult an attorney about your specific situation.

Do you handle both residential and commercial property?

Yes. We represent clients in disputes involving both residential and commercial real estate throughout San Diego.
