Boundary Disputes

Property boundary issues are all too common in rural and developing areas across Monticello, Helena, Wynne, Forrest City, Blytheville, Marion, Stuttgart, and Carlisle. Whether you’re a farmer, homeowner, or land developer, unresolved boundary disputes can lead to stalled projects, lost land use, and even legal action. At The Ray Firm, we help clients throughout Arkansas resolve property line disputes and conflicting surveys through skilled legal representation and practical solutions.

Understanding Boundary Line Disputes


A boundary line dispute arises when two property owners disagree about the exact location of their respective property lines. This is especially common in areas with outdated surveys or oral land use agreements passed down through generations—conditions often found in communities like Helena, Stuttgart, or Forrest City. These disputes can occur for various reasons, including:


  • Unclear or outdated property descriptions
  • Errors in property surveys
  • Encroachments, such as fences or buildings crossing property lines
  • Disputes over easements or rights of way
  • Conflicting survey results in land boundary disputes

Regardless of the cause, resolving these disputes requires a thorough understanding of property law and precise legal action.

  • Adverse possession claims: Legal claims to land based on long-term use.
  • Survey discrepancies: Resolving disputes caused by conflicting surveys in boundary disputes.
  • Easement disagreements: Disputes over shared access or utility easements.
