Have complete knowledge about your property boundaries.

  • Before the adverse possession takes effect, you can catch the encroachment or trespassing. 
  • Agree to accurate land and property surveys done by the property surveyors.

Notify your neighbours about their encroachments and request for resolving the issue. Herein, you will need guidance from the property surveyors. Take legal action if your neighbours refuse. 

Just Use Your Land

  • Be safe from adverse possession claims, by not using others' land actively.
