Property Line Disputes (But With Relational Priority)
Virtual MCLE Event
Wednesday, April 19, 2023
12:00pm – 1:00pm
1 hour participatory MCLE credit
No-cost, free event
Program Description
An approach to resolving common neighbor disputes while emphasizing the high value of relationships. We will look into the ethical tension that exists when attorneys step away from “zealous advocacy” and employ non-adversarial techniques. We will also look at the role that property boundary uncertainty plays in exacerbating other common neighbor conflicts. Finally, we will look at suggested best practices for attorneys involved in these types of matters.
