The neighbor we've had our lot line problems with hired the same surveyor we used and got a survey done today.
The surveyor and the neighbors MIL (whose name is on the deed) came over and asked me if we would consider moving our fence back to the original occupation line even though they now know our land according to our deed extends beyond that point. They said they know the lady on their other side where their land really is, won't let them have that land so they want ours.
Ummmmmmm NO!
I told them that we'd have never had to hire a surveyor to find the correct lines if they'd have treated us decently, so now that we were forced to do that, we have every intention of keeping what is legally ours.
She said they will be hiring a lawyer to take us to court and make us move our fence and we will get stuck with legal fees over it.
I told her we are only claiming what is legally ours, so If she wants to waste her money trying to claim it, that's up to her but she's not getting it without a court order and I doubt she can get one. I had permission from her daughter in law (whose name is also on the deed), the county and township zoning offices to put up my fence, on what's legally my land and until she can prove it's wrong, I'm not moving it. I didn't need permission from any of them, but got in just in case they'd try to pull this. Now I'm glad I did. Naturally she can't prove it's wrong because the same surveyor did both places and he's not going to say he messed up when doing ours.
I told her having been a realtor I KNOW my rights and I'm not backing down for them as I want that fence up to keep them as far away from us and we can so they can't harrass us anymore. She left telling me to expect a letter from her attorney. I thanked her and said I look forward to it.
Arggggggggg some people!
