Why You Need Legal Help with Encroachment Litigation

Encroachment disputes occur when a neighbour builds, renovates, or extends onto land that isn’t theirs—whether it’s a fence, driveway, deck, or even part of a building. These conflicts often trigger costly disagreements over boundaries, surveys, and property rights. Left unresolved, they can lead to property devaluation, blocked sales, and long-term hostility.

Because property lines and easements are governed by strict legal and survey standards, encroachment disputes demand swift, strategic, and litigation-focused action. A skilled real estate litigation lawyer can clarify ownership rights, enforce boundaries, and pursue remedies that protect your property and investment.

Experienced. Effective. Results-Oriented.

When a neighbour’s fence, driveway, structure, or landscaping crosses onto your property, the issue may seem small at first—but it can quickly escalate into a costly legal dispute. Encroachment problems don’t just create tension with neighbours; they can also block sales, lower property value, and limit how you can use your land.

In Toronto and across Ontario, even minor encroachments can carry major consequences. A misplaced wall, overhang, or addition may affect your title, lead to survey discrepancies, or force you into expensive litigation if left unresolved.

At ME Law, we litigate high-stakes encroachment disputes with a focus on protecting your property rights, securing fair remedies, and—when necessary—obtaining court orders to remove or stop unlawful encroachments.

How Will We Work Together With You?

Encroachment disputes can feel overwhelming. You may not know whether you have the legal right to demand removal, compensation, or whether an encroachment agreement is necessary. Without clear guidance, you risk delays, added costs, or even losing leverage over your property.

At ME Law, we help you regain control by:

Clarifying your property rights through review of title documents, surveys, and easements.
Advising on strategy—whether negotiation, agreement, or litigation is the best route.
Pursuing court remedies such as injunctions, removal orders, or partition applications.
Securing damages or compensation for lost property value, loss of use, or repair costs.
Resolving disputes efficiently to avoid prolonged neighbour conflict and protect your investment.

Our role is to resolve encroachment issues with precision, speed, and strategy—so you can move forward without the burden of uncertainty or property risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real Estate Litigation

View all faqs

What should I do first if I believe there is a legal issue with my property?

Document everything (photos, dates, communications). Get copies of title or ownership documents. Seek expert reports (surveyors, architects) if needed. Consult a litigation lawyer early to understand your rights, potential costs, and best strategy.

What are the legal costs involved in real estate litigation?

Costs depend on factors like: how many parties are involved; whether expert reports are needed (e.g. surveyor, engineer); number of court motions; discovery and document handling. ME Law provides estimates up front and explores cost-effective routes where possible (e.g. mediation before trial)

How long does a real estate litigation case take in Ontario?

Timeframes vary depending on issue complexity, whether parties cooperate, and court scheduling. Simple disputes might resolve in months via negotiation or mediation; more complicated cases (with expert evidence, multiple parties, or appeals) may take a year or more.

Can real estate disputes be settled outside court?

Yes. Many parties prefer mediation, arbitration, or negotiation. These methods tend to be faster, less formal, and less costly. However, if the dispute is serious (e.g. ownership rights threatened, large financial stakes), litigation may be necessary.

Can I recover legal costs if I win a real estate dispute?

Potentially, yes. If the court rules in your favour, it may award costs (legal fees, expert fees) to the successful party. However, cost awards are discretionary and depend on the case specifics, conduct of parties, and whether the litigation was reasonable
