How do I resolve a boundary dispute with my neighbor in Georgia?

Begin with a current survey by a licensed Georgia surveyor. If the survey supports your position and the neighbor does not agree, GA Law Group can file a quiet title action in Superior Court to have the boundary legally established. Many disputes settle after the survey results are clear.

What is a quiet title action in Georgia?

A quiet title action is a lawsuit filed in Georgia Superior Court asking the court to determine ownership and "quiet" competing claims to property. It is the primary tool for resolving boundary disputes, adverse possession claims, easement conflicts, and title defects.

Can I block a neighbor's easement on my property?

It depends on the easement's terms and origin. If you are obstructing a valid easement, you could face a lawsuit and a court order to remove the obstruction. GA Law Group reviews the deed records and surveys to determine whether the easement is valid, what its scope is, and whether any interference is legally defensible.

What is a partition action?

When multiple people own property together (co-tenants) and cannot agree on its use or sale, any co-tenant can file a partition action in Georgia Superior Court. The court either divides the property physically or orders it sold with proceeds divided among the co-tenants. GA Law Group handles partition actions throughout Northeast Georgia.

Property rights disputes in Northeast Georgia range from straightforward boundary line disagreements to complex easement conflicts and adverse possession claims spanning decades. GA Law Group handles all phases of these disputes — from title research and survey review through trial in Georgia Superior Court.

Boundary Line Disputes

Boundary disputes often arise from ambiguous deed descriptions, conflicting surveys, or changes in the landscape over time. GA Law Group works with licensed Georgia surveyors to establish the true boundary, then pursues a quiet title action or negotiates a boundary line agreement as the circumstances warrant.

Easement Disputes

Easements — rights to use another's property for a specific purpose — are a frequent source of dispute in Northeast Georgia's growing communities. Disputes arise over the scope of an easement, interference with an existing easement, and whether an easement has been abandoned. GA Law Group represents both easement holders and landowners whose property is burdened by easement claims.

Adverse Possession

Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 44-5-161), a person who openly, continuously, exclusively, and notoriously uses another's property for 20 years (or 7 years with color of title) may acquire legal title. GA Law Group both pursues adverse possession claims for long-term users and defends landowners against them.
