Seminar Contents:
Practitioners often
encounter situations where the client’s possession boundary does not
coincide with the record boundaries. Depending upon the
circumstances, the possession boundary may become the ownership
boundary. In other cases, acts of the party(ies) and surrounding
circumstances may locate the boundary that the recode alone fails to
fix with clarity. The workshop will explain and discuss estoppel,
acquiescence, practical location, agreement, adverse possession, and
dedication. In addition to a basic understanding of these
doctrines, the practitioner will learn what their role and
responsibilities are in these cases.
Presenter:
