Real Estate Litigation Lawyers in San Diego

An easement gives one party the right to enter and use the land of another for a specified purpose. There are many types of easements including easements for roads, utilities, landscaping, and parking. They can be created, modified and terminated in many ways and for a number of reasons. Disputes over easements are some of the most common disputes between neighbors. Whether you are a landowner and someone wants to use your property, or you are seeking an easement to use the property of another, it is important to consult with an attorney who is knowledgeable in California easement law. Our attorneys handle all types of easement disputes, including express easements, implied easements, easements by necessity and prescriptive easements.

Boundary line disputes encompass a broad range of scenarios, from misplaced fences to the intentional construction of permanent structures over the property lines between two or more neighboring property owners. When a boundary line is in dispute, it will likely require extensive research into, and investigation of, the historical uses of the properties in question. Like disputes over easements, boundary line disputes are a common source of lawsuits between neighbors. While such disputes are commonly resolved through complicated lot line adjustments, they can also lead to protracted litigation resolved by the court following a trial. Either way, we at Hilbert & Satterly LLP can provide you with the skilled, proactive representation you need.
