Adverse Possession Application Surveys
Adverse possession application surveys provide the precise boundary evidence and certified documentation required to support a claim of land ownership under Victorian law.
Adverse possession is a legal process that allows a person to claim ownership of land if it has been occupied exclusively and continuously for the required statutory period. In Victoria, these applications require strict evidence, accurate boundary definition and professionally prepared documentation to be considered by Land Use Victoria.
A licensed land surveyor plays a critical role in this process. Establishing the true legal boundary, identifying any encroachments and preparing compliant survey plans are essential steps in supporting a claim. Without precise cadastral investigation and defensible survey evidence, applications are unlikely to succeed.
At Humphries Land Surveying, we specialise in adverse possession application surveys across Melbourne and Victoria. We conduct detailed re-establishment surveys, investigate historical title information and prepare certified documentation suitable for legal submission. Working closely with property lawyers and conveyancers, we ensure every application is supported by clear, accurate and compliant survey evidence.
