Re: Our neighbor built his house on our property

yes, it will be a problem later, and you might loose your property. Have a survey done and bring suit, if needed, against your neighbor now.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

Re: Our neighbor built his house on our property

It would take the adjacent owners at least 7 years to perfect title to any of your property on which the house was built. I suggest that you hire a survey of your property, which should cost about $1000 or so, to confirm where the property line is located. Then, you will have the "proof" that the city planning commission needs. If the house in on your property, you have legal rights to protect. If the house is not, even if your views are blocked, you are out of luck unless there is a violation of CCRs. Ultimately, if the city will not do anything you will need to file a lawsuit to "quiet title."

Re: Our neighbor built his house on our property

Time is never on your side in a situation like this. Based on fact you did not take action while construction in progress could cause problem. Call if you wish to discuss. If you wait they could in fact have "right" to let it be even if in violation. A survey will be necessary to provide proof of violation. Call if you wish to discuss further. Don Holben
