Ownership, boundary, title, access and land use disputes sometimes are an unfortunate consequence of owning property in Texas. Whether the land was purchased, inherited, or awarded in a divorce, there are many circumstances that give rise to disagreements about the ownership and use of real property. With so many reasons for property disputes, it is best to hire a knowledgeable attorney that has the experience necessary to help you navigate through the complexities of real estate disagreements.
​

What are some of the most common types of property disputes?

Picture

Adverse possession

Adverse possession often may develop when someone has been using part of a neighboring property for an extended period of time. After the passage of time, they may make a legal claim to that part of the land.
​

Trespass

​If someone steps foot onto someone else’s property and has not been authorized to do so, this can constitute a trespass. If there has been damage that occurred as a result of the trespass, the property owner will need to show that they own the land and that the defendant voluntarily entered the property without authorization.
​

Partition

A partition is a legal mechanism designed to divide real property between joint owners. A joint owner or a claimant of an interest in real property may bring an action to partition the property or interest in a district court of a county in which any portion of the property is located.
​

Encroachment

Good fences may make good neighbors, but when a fence is in the wrong place it certainly can cause angst between neighboring property owners. Encroachment is similar to trespass, but as opposed to a person, encroachment refers to an object. It is not limited to fences, but can also involve trees, vegetation, homes or outbuildings.
