I agree with Atty. Lipkin. Get an attorney ASAP. If the facts are on your side, then there won't be too much to worry about.

TO ALL QUESTIONERS: I provide this answer in an effort to assist and guide only. The answers are qualified further by you providing the full and complete facts and background or not, and by the space limitations of this forum. The answer does not serve as a substitute for a live sit-down with an attorney. In no way is any answer to be construed as a formal giving of legal advice nor is an attorney-client relationship formed. You are not permitted to quote or refer to answers given in any court pleading or hearing. TO QUESTIONERS FROM WV & NY: Although I am licensed to practice in your state, be advised that I practice on a day-to-day basis in Massachusetts. I answer questions in your state in areas of the law in which I practice, and in which I feel comfortable trying to offer you assistance based on my knowledge of specific statutes in your state and/or general principles applicable in all states. Being licensed to practice there, however, does not provide me with the detailed knowledge of local procedures and practices that comes from day-to-day work. It is always best to work with attorneys and court personnel in your own area to deal with specific problems and factual situations.

If the neighbor has hired a lawyer to send you a certified letter, it sounds like they intend to pursue this dispute. I would suggest hiring a real estate litigator to go through your documents proving that the buildings actually lie on your property, and prepare a response to the neighbor's lawyer. Good luck.

I am changing your practice area to Real Estate Law in hopes you get some good answers from lawyers in that field.
