Neighbor Disputes

Tales of feuding neighbors seem cliché, but beyond trouble over "keeping up with the joneses," many legal disputes may arise between neighboring property owners. Common causes of action may involve boundary line disputes, installation and maintenance of fences, encroachment and property damage due to trees, obstruction of views, water damage, and private nuisance claims. Although a good neighbor relationship would limit transactions costs and the strain of litigation, the home is often one's most valuable asset, and protecting its value unfortunately may involve filing a lawsuit against a neighbor. Much like family law, in which the parties often must continue a personal relationship beyond the lawsuit, neighbors still live next to each other after the dispute is resolved, so ADR may be particularly helpful in preserving a neighborly relationship that would only further deteriorate in protracted litigation.
