So.... I just bought and moved into a house that was built in the 50's. It hasn't had many updates since then so I am assuming the septic system was put in then, too.
My neighbor, came up to my husband yelling about property lines and how she bought land that was once owned by the owner of our house. Our house used to sit on 1 whole acre. Now it sits on 1/2 of an acre. The lady told my husband how she pitched a fit for 1/2 of the land because she felt entitled to it because her family used to own the property and the old man who died would never sell it to her. He died and the whole acre sold at auction. She started yelling about our well flooding her 1/2 of an acre that she bought 2 years ago and can't do anything with it because it stays flooded. She owns 56 acres behind us yet she wanted this extra 1/2 acre.
Anyways, the owner, that I bought it from sold her half of the property and he rented out the property with the house on it. Fast forward, 3 years after the auction and my husband and I now own the property. We were looking for our septic tank because we are assuming it hasn't been pumped ever. We followed our main drain to the property line and a beautiful patch of green grass but we didn't go any further, into her property. I'm assuming my septic system is on that property and I'm assuming it's my septic system flooding her property.
She has already just randomly paid for a property survey and yelled at us to not accidentally mow her land. What rights do I have? I'm not all that experienced with stuff like this.
