i was surfing on the site and found someone with a simular problem as myself. when i first bought my house with an additional lot of land i had a very nice neibor who had her house on my land. the preveous owner of my home made me aware of the property line, and assurred me that this was my land but she didn"t have the heart to do anything about it. i told my new neibor a was not going to move her home back 5 feet on her property, just remember who actually owns the land and we will be fine. 8 years later she sold her house to my new neibors. they got there lawyer to get a affadavid from the previous owner of my land witch stated that they had permission to use the land as there own. my new neibors used this affidavid to register the land as mine but they have full control of said land. they then had the land surveyed and transferd leagally without my knollege. i found out that this happend to me seven years after the fact. i contacted the lawyer who handled my house and land tranfer and there was nothing ever recorded prior to me buying my property stateing that my neibors had a claim to my land, and also the previous owner of my property swore and signed a leagal paperwork stateing that there where no transfers of land to said neibor. she swore and signed this oath in 1997 when i bought the property from her and in 2005 she wrote a new letter of decleration about my land for my crooked neibors. where do i go from here? can i retreive my land, or make them re-emburse me for the value of the property that was stollen from me? the crasy thing about my situation, if they would have asked me to sell them this parcell of land, i would have given them the parcel for 1 dollar, but they stole my property from me, and that does not sit well in my gut. can somebody give me some advise on how to proceed without having to pay thousands of dollars in leagal fees. yks, shawn.
