I purchased acres and a home but the problem is with the acreage.
The pervious owner used to access the acreage through a pathway by his home. But there is a designated piece of land about 30 feet wide that is attached to the acreage but just is grass but was shored up with a small slope and used as a drainage ditch. The neighbor confronted me when he seen surveyor had put stakes to mark the access road. But the neighbor didn't welcome me to the area. He confronted me to say the surveyor had put stakes on his part of the property because he has always mowed that access road so half of it was his. If that was the case why wasn't I aware before I bought the acreage? And I can't access acreage through my house like the previous owner because he was running over the septic lines and I refuse to do that. So what do I need to prove the neighbor is wrong? And how do I get him to quit mowing it if he trying to claim it?
