What Boundary Dispute Services Does Brodsky Law Offer?
Boundary disputes and easement conflicts are among the most contentious issues in real estate law. In Santa Cruz County, where properties range from hillside parcels with informal access roads to coastal lots with historic easements, property line disagreements can escalate quickly and carry significant financial stakes. California law provides several mechanisms to resolve these conflicts, including quiet title actions under Code of Civil Procedure §760.010, which allow a court to determine the rightful ownership of disputed property. Sasha Brodsky has represented property owners in boundary disputes, easement conflicts, and encroachment claims throughout Santa Cruz County and California since 1998.
Easements in California may arise in several ways — through express grant, implication, necessity, or prescription. Prescriptive easements require open, notorious, continuous, and hostile use of another's property for a period of five years. Adverse possession claims under CCP §325 require the same elements plus the additional requirement that the claimant must have paid all property taxes on the disputed parcel for the entire five-year statutory period. Encroachment disputes — where a structure, fence, or improvement crosses a property boundary — often require survey analysis and may be resolved through negotiation, boundary line agreements, or litigation. Sasha works to protect his clients' property rights through thorough investigation of deeds, surveys, and title records, pursuing negotiation where possible and litigation when necessary.
Sasha's scope of counsel includes but is not limited to:
Whether you are dealing with a neighbor's encroaching fence, a disputed access easement, a prescriptive use claim, or the need to file a quiet title action to clear title to your property, Sasha provides experienced counsel through every stage of the dispute — from initial investigation and survey review through negotiation, mediation, and, when necessary, litigation in Santa Cruz County Superior Court. He works to resolve boundary conflicts efficiently while protecting his clients' property rights and long-term interests.
