Property Dispute

What is a Property Dispute?

A property dispute is a legal conflict involving immovable property such as land, flats, buildings, or inherited assets. These disputes commonly arise due to disagreements over ownership, possession, transfer, succession, boundaries, or usage rights. They often involve family members, co-owners, buyers, tenants, developers, or third parties.
