Property Disagreements: Resolving Conflicts with Confidence
Property disputes can be a source of significant stress. They are often complex and emotional. However, understanding the common types of disagreements is the first step toward a solution. Our team at CGG Law Partners helps Chicago property owners find a clear path forward. We provide strategic legal guidance to protect your property rights.
Common Types of Property Disputes
Many types of disputes can arise between neighbors or co-owners. Boundary disputes, for example, are a common issue. They occur when a fence, driveway, or other structure crosses a property line. Title disputes, on the other hand, involve conflicting claims to a property’s ownership. Furthermore, disagreements can stem from easements, which give a party the right to use part of another’s land. Resolving these issues with an experienced attorney is vital.
Steps to Find a Resolution
Communicate First: You can often solve small disagreements with a simple, respectful conversation. It is a good first step to try and understand the other party’s perspective.
Gather Documentation: Collect all relevant paperwork. This includes your property deed, any existing surveys, and contracts. Having these documents prepared is an important part of building your case.
Order a Professional Survey: If the issue is a boundary line, a professional survey provides a definitive answer. The survey establishes the exact location of your property lines, and it is a legally defensible tool.
Mediation: For disputes that cannot be settled directly, a neutral third-party mediator can help. This process allows both parties to reach a cost-effective compromise outside of court.
Legal Counsel: If other efforts fail, a lawyer can provide the legal representation you need. Our team can review your case, offer strategic advice, and represent your interests in court if litigation becomes necessary.

An easement dispute occurs when there is a disagreement about another party's right to use a portion of your property. Issues often arise over the terms or scope of the easement.
A lawyer can help by reviewing your property deed and survey. They can also represent you in negotiations with your neighbor. Furthermore, they can initiate legal action to enforce your property rights if needed.
A quiet title action is a lawsuit filed to establish a party's legal ownership of a property. It is often used to resolve title disputes and clear a cloud on a property's title.
