Real Property Disputes

Property disagreements can affect how you use, enjoy, and transfer land. The Law Office of Jeffrey D. Anson provides California civil litigation representation in selected real property disputes, with consultations available remotely by Zoom or phone.

This page is general information only. It is not legal advice, and contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Matter types we handle

Matters may involve, among others:

  • Easements — rights to use another’s land for a specific purpose, and disputes over scope, interference, or abandonment

  • Encroachments — structures or uses that cross property lines

  • Boundary disputes — disagreements about where lines fall and how surveys, deeds, and occupancy interact

  • Quiet title actions court proceedings to clarify ownership interests and remove clouds on title

• Partition — dividing jointly owned real property, or obtaining other court-ordered relief when co-owners cannot agree

• Trespass — unauthorized entry or use of land

• Nuisance — interference with the use and enjoyment of property

Other related civil matters may arise depending on the facts.

What to expect

Every matter is different. In general terms, civil real property disputes often involve some combination of:

  1. Initial consultation — outline the dispute, identify key documents (deeds, surveys, photos, correspondence), and discuss possible next steps

  2. Factual investigation — gather and organize records, maps, and communications

  3. Legal analysis — identify claims, defenses, and procedural options under California law

  4. Strategy and communication discuss goals, risks, timelines, and whether negotiation, formal demand, ADR, or litigation may be appropriate

  5. Litigation steps when needed — pleadings, discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation as the case requires

No particular outcome is promised. Results depend on the facts, the law, the forum, and many factors outside any lawyers control.

Who this helps

This practice area may be relevant if you are:

• A homeowner, co-owner, or neighbor facing a boundary, easement, or encroachment issue

• Considering or responding to a quiet title or partition action

• Dealing with alleged trespass or private nuisance affecting your property

• Seeking a clear explanation of options before deciding whether to litigate

Geographic focus is primarily San Diego County, with California matters considered as appropriate for a virtual practice.
