Sorry you are unhappy - I have no idea of your employment, only your personality.

Have you checked the chart in Nolo for accuracy and timeliness? I didn't think so.

Are you completely sure that the angle of property is truly yours? The way the prop is laid out on the first page is kinda odd. Probably the social off neighbor assumes that it continues along his prop line in a straight line to the corner and not cut off as in your yellow line marks.
No need to sue btw, depending upon who is doing your local zoning enforcement if a simple discussion doesn't do it a call to the zoning/codes dept should fix it. You may need another survey or to find the pins located. If the prop does hop off line as in your first post a stake/post/concrete monument is certainly to be there somewhere.

Absolutely. Checked and double checked. Even read the latest court rulings. What have you done other than have diarrhea of the mouth?

I don't know what prompts your personal attacks, but why not just help this guy with his problem.

Thanks for all the help. Most are saying the same thing so that is what I will do. I will update after the confrontation.

If I were in your situation, and didn't really care if he "did what he was doing", I'd probably proceed with a face-to-face just to get his initial reaction, etc. Assuming he wasn't a jerk, I wouldn't worry about adverse possession, liability, etc. for someone putting up lights, etc. if I didn't care, but I'd sure preserve my property rights. I'd do as MRM and Rot suggest... just lay it all on the line.

ps: Sometimes it's a history lesson when trying to figure out how some of these quirky property lines develop over the years as larger properties get combined/divided/traded...BTDT just a few years ago ;)

If you are going into this with thinking of it as "confrontation" then don't expect any good results. Every action has an equal reaction in the opposite direction...

As for not talking to you, its been three years since I last talked to any of my neighbors. When I put a Lindsey racing exhaust on one of my 944's, a guy who'se house is sideways relative to the road I drive by, which makes his bedroom next the road, was outside, and I stopped to ask if he heard it or if it bothered him. Let him know if a loud car ever does - it was probably me, and to let me know.

He said he was a sound sleeper, it hadn't/wouldn't bother him, and that was the last time I talked to him.

Some people prefer to be left alone unless there is something that actually needs to be communicated. Just because he isn't your kind of "friendly" doesn't mean he's hostile right of the box. BUT - you can make him so if you go about it.

I may have misused the term confrontation. I didnt mean to imply hostility, just that I would approach him to discuss the property line. Lets call it the discussion. :D.

This type of response is wholly...unnecessary.
It's pissing in the punch bowl.

Go piss on the land to mark your territory.

Three pages and nobody has asked if the neighbor's wife is hot?

I am disappointed, you guys are slipping.

john70t - I assume you did not read rot911's attack posts. Go back and do so, if he did not delete them.

Not my fight but you did kind of ask for it and I would hardly characterize Rots response an attack.

Everyone here knows he's an attorney and from all accounts a good one.

No different than if one of the many MD's here offered advice and you quoted them and responded that the OP would be better served getting advice from an MD.

You basically told him he sucks at his job.

I am in my 40's.
I have lived and learned and experienced quite a bit.
I'll try to continue to do so.

Daily, I still have regrets of my past.
There is still some much I wish I had learned about life, and the world.

Sometimes I forget I am an adult now. Amoung adults.

"Attack Posts?"

Come on, man.

I simply asked about something he posted - as it turns out he was wrong in terms of the explicit text of his post

I had no idea he was an attorney, and believe it or not, don't even try to track people's employment on here.

You are mistaken in your attribution of motive - no one should or is allowed to practice law out of state, and that likely means over the internet.

When I tell people to see a lawyer or see an MD that is good advice even if a certain lazy culture promotes trying do everything with a URL.

Is there a bank involved? In other words does OP have a mortgage? The bank might have something to say about allowing an encroachment on its collateral.

I still think you need to consider the possibility that he just doesn't know it's not his.

Just curious if the lights he's trying to install are a plus or minus for you?
