Lot Line Dispute Attorneys
Overview
Lot lines establish boundaries that designate ownership of property between adjacent lots. Usually, lot line disputes will arise due to neighboring homeowners commencing construction that overlaps with their neighbor’s lot, or when trees laying on the lot line are cut down. These disputes can have unexpected consequences. For example, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 733, anyone responsible for injuring/killing trees that sit on another person’s property can result in treble damages for the aggrieved party.
