As you drive through San Diego neighborhoods and see homes for sale, it seems there may be more and more St. Joseph statuettes buried beneath for-sale signs. Why, you ask? The Los Angeles Times reports that many desperate home sellers are burying the statuette in hopes that it will help sell the home faster. In the article, Father Lee of Chicago’s St. Joseph Catholic Church calls the practice “ridiculous.” If he’s right and burying statuettes won’t help, what should you do instead to increase your home’s marketability? In stressful economic times, it’s important to resolve boundary line disputes. That way, if you find you need to sell your property quickly, legal problems won’t stand in the way. Fences, driveways, trees, and other encroachments can all create boundary problems that may interfere with your property rights.
Even the famous Four Corners monument is in the wrong spot, with the real intersection of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado being about 1,800 feet away. Tourists don’t need to worry, though, since the states have legally adopted the Four Corners location as official.
Just as the states settled their boundary problem, you can resolve any boundary line issues you might have with your own property. San Diego Law Firm provides a variety of legal services for resolving boundary disputes, ranging from mediation to court injunctions and temporary restraining orders.
