Frequently asked property law questions

Understand the critical legal mechanisms governing property rights and land boundaries in Quebec.

Under Article 978 of the Civil Code of Quebec, every owner may compel their neighbor to establish boundaries between contiguous properties. This is done through a joint surveyor or via a judicial boundary determination if agreement cannot be reached.

Acquisitive prescription is a legal means of acquiring property rights through continuous, peaceful, public, and unequivocal possession over a ten-year period. If a neighbor uses a strip of your land unchecked for over a decade, they may file for ownership rights.

No. Once an easement is legally published in the land register, the owner of the servient land cannot do anything to diminish its use or make it less convenient. Any obstruction can be legally challenged and ordered removed by a court.
