Property disputes often begin with a disagreement over ownership, title, possession, boundaries, inheritance, or the terms of a property transaction.

The ground
What you are actually dealing with
What is a property dispute?
A property dispute can involve competing claims to ownership, title, possession, boundaries, partition, inheritance, or rights arising from an agreement or other property transaction. The first step is usually to understand the documents and the factual history before deciding what legal remedy is appropriate.
Land and title disputes
Land and title disputes may arise from competing ownership claims, defects in the chain of title documents, earlier transfers, discrepancies in revenue records, encumbrances, or questions about the extent of a person's rights in the property. A review of the available title documents and property records can help identify the basis of the dispute.
Possession and ownership disputes
A dispute over possession is not necessarily the same as a dispute over ownership. One party may claim ownership while another is in possession, or the parties may disagree about the right to occupy or use the property. The documents, the possession history, and the nature of the claim need to be examined before determining the appropriate course.
Partition and inheritance disputes
Family property disputes commonly involve partition, inheritance, succession, family settlements, or disagreements among legal heirs. The applicable legal framework and the documents relating to the property and the family relationship should be reviewed before determining each party's rights.
