Best Attorney Practices in Oregon Real Estate Litigation
Typically, the best practices in a border dispute case call for hiring a surveyor early on, even before a lawsuit is filed. The last thing you want to do is go into litigation mode and not know exactly where the property ends, the easement is located, etc.
Regarding a timber suit, you do not want to rely on a client’s estimate of the value alone. You should immediately hire a timber cruiser or appraiser with specialty in timber values – and make sure it is updated before trial consistent with market trends.
And always read the paperwork with a fine-tooth comb. What does the easement or deed actually say? Go back to the basics with every case.
