A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the March 2025 live seminar, 29^th Annual Advanced Real Estate.

Cosponsored with the Real Property Section of the Virginia State Bar

Disputes between neighbors can be particularly challenging for the real estate practitioner. In addition to being emotionally fraught, these cases often involve nuanced—and occasionally contradictory—legal doctrines. This session looks at the many different types of claims that can arise between neighbors in a variety of contexts throughout the Commonwealth, including urban, suburban, and rural settings. The session also discusses many of the issues and claims that arise in neighboring disputes, including adverse possession, encroaching trees and plants, trespass and nuisance, express and implied easements, boundary disputes, division fences, and ejectment.
