In CT it isn't that simple when it is an adjoining neighbor. If it was a person that had no ownership in the adjoining property, you can have them charged with trespass. If it is a neighbor with adjoining property, you have to prove ownership boundaries each and every time. They can simply dispute the ownership issue and you have to prove it all over again. I have been down this road before and hopefully this time the Judge will get the message across to them. After this time, it will become easier in the future because the boundary markers will be re established.
There is a old logging road that the center line is the boundry and we have both signed quit claim deeds to each other. Now they claim that they never gave up their right to use my half. In my attorneys opinion, they gave up all rights when they signed the quit claim deed. This is what will be determined when we appear before the Judge. Three differant attorney's have told me that I am correct, but their attorney disagrees, so it will have to be litigated again...
When I had my land logged, they refused to allow the logger to use their half of the road, so all work was done on my land. Their attitude is "We can use your half, but you can't use ours." I don't want to use their land under any condition and I have offered to sell them an easement or license to use my half, but they rather fight than to resolve this. They have sent me an e mail wanting to buy my property, but I have told them it isn't for sale. I believe that they want my land for expansion purposes and will do whatever it takes to force me to sell to them. I don't think of them as good neighbors and they have fueds going with other neighbors...
