Adverse Possession

Land use and boundary disputes can be stressful and confusing. You might discover that a neighbour has been using part of your land for years, or you may have been using land that you believed was yours. These situations often involve fences, gardens, or other structures that have been in place for a long time.

Mediation provides a constructive way to discuss these issues without the uncertainty and expense of court proceedings. A neutral mediator helps both parties understand each other's perspectives and work towards practical solutions. This approach can preserve neighbour relationships and find resolutions that work for everyone involved.

Through mediation, you can explore options such as boundary adjustments, licence agreements, or other arrangements that address the situation. The process is confidential and less adversarial than litigation, which can help maintain positive relationships with neighbours.

Land use disputes happen when people disagree about who has the right to use or own a piece of land. This might involve boundary lines, fences, or land that has been used for many years by someone who may not be the legal owner. These situations can be confusing because they often involve long-standing use that may not match legal ownership.

Mediation provides a way to discuss these disagreements constructively. Instead of focusing on legal definitions or proving possession, mediation focuses on understanding how the land is being used and finding practical solutions that work for everyone involved.
