Easement And Boundary Dispute Attorney In Tucson
Easements, Boundary Disputes, And Right Of Way—Made Clear
When neighbor lines blur or access gets blocked, you need clear answers fast. Our Tucson real estate attorneys resolve boundary surveys, drive-over access roads, utility easements, and private rights of way. We interpret recorded deeds and plats, compare surveys, and—when needed—pursue a
quiet title action to settle ownership or use rights. When long-term use is at issue, we also analyze prescriptive easements versus adverse possession so you understand your best path forward within Arizona law and local practice.
Access, Utilities, Shared Driveways, and Maintenance Duties
From alley easements in central Tucson to private road agreements on the city’s edge, we draft, modify, or terminate easements to match how the land is actually used. We clarify who maintains fences, drainage, and paving, and we align recorded language with site realities. If construction or liens complicate the record, we coordinate strategy with our construction & lien law team to keep closings and projects on track.
Resolve lines with evidence, not emotion
Encroachments, fence creep, or overlapping legal descriptions can stall sales and sour neighbor relations. We compare ALTA/NSPS surveys, title commitments, and historical instruments, and we work with surveyors to document facts. Where cooperation makes sense, we craft boundary line agreements; when it doesn’t, we litigate claims and defend your deed. For bigger site plans, we coordinate with land use and development approvals so entitlements don’t get derailed.
Common Questions About Easements & Property Lines
What’s the difference between a prescriptive easement and adverse possession?
A prescriptive easement grants use rights (like access); adverse possession can change ownership if strict elements are met. We’ll analyze which theory fits your facts.
Can an easement be terminated?
Sometimes—by agreement, abandonment, or court order. We’ll evaluate the recorded language and history.
Do I need a survey?
Often yes; a current survey paired with title review is the fastest path to clarity.
