Looking for opinions so I dont do the wrong thing.
Over the weekend, I noticed the neighbor working on a piece of land that belongs to me. He was digging a trench installing some street lights and a spot light. The property borders his property, and looks like it should belong to him, but doesnt. I personally doubt I will ever need or use the land, but I am paying taxes on it. Not sure what I should do.
There is a nice stone garden at the entrance to my driveway, which is on the disputed property. Not sure who built it, PO or him. If I ever wanted to put up a real gated entrance, I would need that land.
This is the only neighbor that I dont really get along with. Not sure why, but they always turn away when they see me so they dont have to wave.
Looked up adverse possession in TN. He has to prove he is maintaining the land for 7 years. Not sure if he can prove that. I recently bought the property, maybe 2 years ago.
Red is my property line, yellow is what they are using:
I think first step is talking to him and seeing what he thinks.
But not sure which route to take after that.
What would YOU do?
