Adverse Possession

Adverse possession allows a person who has used someone else’s land for a prescribed period of time to claim ownership of that land. Adverse possession claims typically arise when there is a discrepancy between the physical boundary of a piece of land and the legal boundary as recorded in the title documents. For example, a fence may be located a few feet inside a property line, or a driveway may encroach onto a neighbour’s land.

In some cases, these discrepancies can be minor and may not have any significant impact on the parties involved. However, in other cases, the financial consequences of an adverse possession claim can be significant.

We provide legal guidance and representation to clients who are seeking to assert their rights to a piece of land or defend against a claim of adverse possession.

Section 173 Agreements

A Section 173 Agreement is a Contract made between a landowner and the Council that places restrictions on a landowner’s use of the land. These agreements are commonly required as part of the planning permit process and are designed to ensure that the land is developed in a manner that is consistent with the surrounding community’s needs and interests. A third party, such as a water authority, may also be a party to the Agreement.

We can assist you to ensure that the preparation and registration of a Section 173 Agreement is as efficient and stress-free as possible.
