Adverse Possession Attorney For Arizona Land And Boundary Claims

Adverse Possession Arizona Law Explained

Adverse possession allows someone to claim title after meeting strict legal requirements over a statutory period—possession that is open and notorious, continuous, and exclusive, under a claim of right. It often surfaces after fence lines shift, driveways encroach, or a neighbor openly uses part of a lot for years. Lancer Law assesses facts, surveys, and deeds to confirm whether a viable claim exists or to defend the record owner against an overreach under Arizona adverse possession law.

Proving (or defeating) A Land Claim

Most disputes require a quiet title action asking the court to recognize (or reject) the claimed interest. We gather evidence—historical photos, assessor records, surveyor affidavits, and witness statements—to establish continuous use within Arizona’s statutory framework. If you’re defending ownership, we challenge elements the claimant must prove and pursue agreements to resolve encroachments without destroying neighbor relations—common around Midtown and the Foothills.

Fences, Easements, And Driveways

• A fence built inside the true boundary that becomes the de facto line over time
  
• Long-used driveways or parking pads partially over a lot line
• Utility or access use that may be prescriptive easement—not ownership
  

We help you decide whether to seek title, negotiate a recorded easement, or restore the surveyed line within your broader real estate law strategy.
