Steps to an Adverse Possession Dispute    

How do I begin to sort out an adverse possession dispute?

If you find yourself at the centre of an adverse possession dispute, Slater & Gordon strongly recommend that you seek prompt legal advice to ensure that your rights and entitlements are fully protected.

Slater & Gordon can help. Our legal team will work with you to assess the relevant issues and advise you frankly of the legal options and avenues available to resolve your circumstances.

Slater & Gordon's extensive experience representing property owners includes the following scenarios:

• Inner-city property owners who by way of fencing have for periods exceeding 15 years enclosed lucrative areas of land falling outside their true title boundaries
• Rural dwellers who have used and maintained land as though that land was their own even though the land fell outside land outside their true title boundaries
• Property owners whose neighbours have issued notices to re-fence under the Fences Act where there has been a disagreement as to the correct alignment of the fence
