Matter Type:
Boundary Dispute / Easement / Property Casualty & Subrogation | Location: Brooklyn, NY | Client Type:
Insurance Carrier / Subrogation Counsel
Challenge:
Dispute over property lines, historical easement rights, and encroachment affecting a property damage claim and
potential subrogation against an adjacent owner. Title and survey records were conflicting; clear forensic analysis was
required to determine responsibility and support recovery efforts.
Our Role & Methodology:
• Comprehensive title research, deed analysis, and historical boundary retracement using ground and aerial records.
• Field survey to locate monuments, establish current boundaries, and document any encroachments or easement usage.
• Preparation of clear exhibits showing historical vs. current conditions, easement interpretation, and precise encroachment measurements.
Outcome & Value to Defense/Insurer:
The forensic boundary and easement analysis clarified ownership and responsibility,
enabling the carrier to pursue or defend subrogation effectively. Provided defensible evidence that resolved the boundary component of the claim and supported settlement or litigation strategy.
