Adverse Possession

Residential adverse possession claims usually arise when the boundary on the title and the boundary in use do not match. These discrepancies often come to light when one neighbour wants to develop their property by putting in a fence, extending, or adding a unit or pool.

While these adverse possession deviations often appear minor, they can result in significant financial loss. Even a small deviation in a fence line, for example, may translate into a cumulative loss of many thousands of dollars, depending upon property values.
