Legal disputes arising out of the ownership or use of real estate are not uncommon in Western North Carolina. Old surveys, using outdated equipment on steep mountain slopes, are sometimes difficult to reconcile with surveys prepared using more modern instruments. In addition, trees and boulders used as landmarks may have changed or may have been moved or destroyed, making it difficult to determine the original survey line.
In addition to disputes involving boundary lines, it is not uncommon to have disagreements arising out of the joint ownership or use of property. Whether there is an easement over another person’s property or property jointly owned by two or more people, disputes can arise over the rights and responsibilities of each party. If these issues are not resolved and continue for a long period of time, valuable property rights may be lost forever.
If you are experiencing difficulty with a joint owner of your property, a neighboring land owner or have issues arising out of the use of or interference with an easement, call the lawyers at Cannon Law, P.C. for a consultation.
