Boundary, Easement, and Encroachment Disputes

We Are Experienced In Handling All Types Of Real Property Encroachment Disputes

When someone else interferes with your exclusive property rights, taking legal action promptly can be essential to mitigating the financial costs and other potential consequences. While this might mean going to court, it could also mean working to achieve an amicable resolution through other means. We utilize negotiations, mediation, arbitration and litigation to resolve real property disputes, working closely with our clients to achieve the results they desire.

Our attorneys represent parties on both sides of encroachment disputes. Whether a neighboring property owner is encroaching on your property, you or your business is accused of encroachment, you are encroaching on a neighbors property, or you need to enforce an easement or right of way, we can help. We represent homeowners and commercial property owners throughout Florida in matters including:

• Enforcing easement rights and rights of way
• Boundary disputes
• Competing property surveys
• Adverse possession claims
• Covenant, license, restriction and servitude disputes
• Noise, pollution and other nuisance claims
• Trespass claims

In many cases, the parties’ respective property rights will be clear, and resolving their dispute will largely be a matter of correcting relevant misunderstandings and remedying the issues that have been identified. However, complexities in Florida’s real estate laws, issues with the public record, vague contract terms and other complications can create circumstances in which the parties’ respective property rights are not clear, and this can make resolving the dispute more complex. With our Fort Lauderdale real estate lawyers’ extensive experience in encroachment matters and other complex real estate disputes, we are able to offer clear guidance and practical solutions for resolving challenging disputes in a cost-effective manner.

We Work Diligently To Resolve Disputes Efficiently And With Absolute Certainty

While it is possible for boundary, easement and other encroachment disputes to become time-consuming and expensive, this does not have to be the case. With the right approach, it will often be possible to achieve an efficient resolution. When you choose Saavedra-Goodwin, our lawyers will carefully examine the circumstances of your dispute in order to determine an effective strategy for moving forward. If possible, we will leverage the facts and law to negotiate a favorable outcome; and, if necessary, we will be prepared to enforce and defend your legal rights in court.
