Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan
My neighbor owns a parcel of land behind my property. He made a trail that traverses through my woods (about 6ft by 130ft) so his kids can drive their quads, snowmobiles , golf cart back to their other piece of land. If one of them or a quest of theirs were to have a mishap while traveling on my property would I be liable? I did not give him permission to make the trail on my land.

Yes, you could very well be liable. You should post obvious no trespassing signs and put a letter in writing return receipt requested informing your neighbor that they are not allowed to access your property. The trespass alone is an actionable claim in a court of law for which you may seek damages. If you would like me to write a letter for you to the neighbor, I am glad to do so for a modest fee.
