Hi & Thanks for Writing -

It's possible, but difficult - you will probably encounter a document at your closing wherein you will be required to affirm that there are no known title problems. A boundary dispute certainly qualifies.

Are you represented by an attorney in the boundary dispute litigation? If so run it by your attorneys. If you're litigating the boundary dispute "on your own," feel free to give our firm a call and I'll take a look at it with you.

Regards & Good Luck!
