Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: Survey markers

As long as the stakes are within your property lines, your neighbor has no right or authority to remove them. I suggest taking pictures of them, so if they are removed again, you have verification they were installed. Your recourse, if they are removed by the neighbor, is to sue for cost of replacement and to get an injunction against further removal, plus your costs of suit and attorney fees. I also suggest sending your neighbor a certified letter (return receipt requested to verify receipt) informing him of what you have done (nicely) and that they are on your property and are not to be removed. This is a response to an Internet question and the reply is not intended to be legal advice or to create an attorney-client relationship.
