Take legal advice promptly. Delay can complicate your position — in some circumstances, prolonged occupation without challenge can give rise to a claim for adverse possession. We can advise on the quickest route to recovering your property and, where necessary, apply for an injunction to prevent further occupation.

Possibly. Trinidad and Tobago law recognises adverse possession — a doctrine that can give rights over land to someone who has occupied it openly, continuously, and without the owner's permission for the statutory period. The specific facts of your situation matter greatly. You should consult an attorney to assess your position.

It depends on the complexity of the matter and whether it settles or proceeds to trial. Many disputes resolve through negotiation before reaching court. Contested trials in the High Court can take considerably longer. Since the implementation of the new Civil Proceedings Rules, however, the timeframe for litigation has decreased substantially. Early legal advice always improves your chances of a quicker, less costly resolution.

A boundary dispute concerns where the legal boundary between two properties falls. A trespass claim arises when someone enters or builds on land they do not own. The two often overlap, and the appropriate remedy depends on the specific facts of your situation.

Yes. We act for individuals, families, businesses, landlords, tenants, and companies in both residential and commercial property matters across Trinidad and Tobago.

Property disputes are typically heard in the High Court of Justice. Claims above TT$50,000 proceed in the High Court; smaller claims may go to the Magistrates' Court. Where parties agree, some matters can be resolved through mediation, which is faster and more private than litigation.
