re: Purchasing Land with Neighbor Encroaching

quote:

---

If I recall correctly (which I may not), one can acquire land via acquisitive prescription based upon possession of the land for either 30 or 15 years.

I know someone that fought this. They encroahed for a good 40 years and Lost.

A survey is a survey. If the other landowner that has the fence on your's to be, they will have to move it at there expence. They can fight the "new' survey line though at there expence.

I would go talk to the people first, but yet sign a buyers agreement before hand stating the problem and able to void it if you have to fight it.

Oh, I'm not a blood sucker and this is NOT legal advice.
