Benefits

Disputes over real property happen all too frequently and many times the issues involve who has the right to a particular parcel or strip of land. In some situations, a government will reserve a road that never gets opened or falls out of use over time. In others, neighbors will agree on use of another's property for access but a problem arises or a use will be established without anyone reaching an agreement.
