Property boundary disputes - What is the solution?

Property  Boundary Disputes: Occasionally, the Sheriff's office is asked to  intervene and settle real estate disputes concerning property line  boundaries.  These are private, civil matters between the parties  involved.  A Judge must settle them in court if the parties cannot agree  among themselves.  We cannot examine property deeds or survey documents  or landmarks to determine or settle property boundary disputes.  We  will take a written report if asked for informational purposes only, but  that must be the extent of our involvement in these issues.  Of course,  if a court issued orders requiring the Sheriff's Office to perform some  act or function relating to a property dispute, we would follow the  order of the court.
