Land Use Litigation

Easement, Boundary and Title Disputes

Massachusetts Land Use Litigation Attorney

Our firm intervenes to efficiently and conclusively resolve property disputes involving questions of ownership, clouded title, or objections over land use. Whether you are anticipating a transaction, or feuding with joint owners or neighbors, we offer knowledgeable and proactive counsel to protect your legal interests.

Jeffrey T. Angley, P.C., a member of Phillips & Angley, Attorneys at Law, represents any party in land use litigation in Barnstable County, Plymouth County or Bristol County. Contact us today to arrange a consultation.

We routinely handle the following matters in Land Court, Superior Court, or the Massachusetts Appeals Court:

• Easement law — Litigation to define the scope and interpretation of public or private easements. This includes restrictive easements to prevent unauthorized use, adverse possession claims, and prescriptive easement litigation to legally recognize and continue an unwritten but established use of adjoining property.
• Title discrepancy — A cloud on the title can hold up transactions or development. We initiate or defend quiet title actions, filing suit to have the court definitively close out the title in our client's favor and extinguish missing interests or other encumbrance. We also handle partition actions to divide property or compel buyouts when joint owners cannot agree on use of the property.
• Boundary disputes — We fight for the interests of homeowners and other landowners in arguments with adjacent owners over boundaries and property use: e.g., lot line dispute, intruding fences, height of structures, setback encroachment, obstructed view, or clearing of trees.

Jeff Angley is a veteran land use litigation attorney with 20 years of experience. He has secured damages, injunctions and summary judgments in a wide range of easement, boundary, and title disputes for clients throughout Cape Cod and the South Shore suburbs.
