This has been going on for five years, but since the judgment ordering him to remove his house from our property he has been very civil. No more profanity and threats. No more pulling up survey pins. No more rallying his buddies to harass us. If it wasn't for the fact that we would like to...

precisely So, you know my neighbor? :D

Well, the only issue in the pleadings was whether he, and previous owners of his house, had met the requirements for adverse possession of our property, to which the Court decided they had not. At that point, in our Countersuit, it was a matter of trespass, and the Court decided we had acted in...

My question is "After an adverse Court decision, can an appellant change their argument (what they were asking for) on appeal? Here's the facts: Our neighbor's house encroaches on our lot by 8 feet. He sued us, asking to have the property line moved over 13.5 feet. We offered to give him the...

Thanks . . . next question. In a community property state, if separate property is paid for with community property funds, can it become community property? I know you know what I mean, but just to say it, in this case what appears to be separate property belonging to the husband...

First, yes, those involved will seek the assistance of an attorney. But, because I have been around here so long, I am a generally nice guy, and this is such an interesting situation, can we talk about it? Yes, it's in Texas, a community property state. Here goes . . . In 2004, my...

We decided to let this one go, to let them gloat over their newly-found 4 feet.

I'm still at this. Although probation is over and although everyone involved in this has said that once that happened we would only have civil remedies to collect the judgement, after a bit of back and forth between me and the judge in charge of the criminal document and the Prosecutor, and a...

Just to show you how it works here, our neighbor has now ordered us to remove our personal property off what he knows is our real property (our lot), which he knows is not his.

Since my editing time is up, I guess I will need to do a new post. The thing about law is that it is not just something that is written in statutes and ordinances; each incident has a life of it's own. For something to be illegal, it has to survive several, very human, hurdles. First...

Incidentally, I had an occasion this past week to confirm the comments I have made here. I filed a report of trespassing and property damage with a deputy who had confirmed it previously, and again on this visit. Still, I was told nothing likely will be done about it. When you google...

However, again in our neck o' the woods, if someone goes ahead and does something that they shoulda got a court order for, there is no repercussion for doing that. Then the person that got the thing done to needs to get a court order to undo it. . . . but if that person goes ahead and undoes...

I was in the Recorder's office today and asked about this. They did not object to the affidavit idea.

Although tampering with survey markers is illegal, in our neck o' the woods, law enforcement will not get involved with property line disputes because it is a civil matter.

Thinking out loud . . . maybe something entitled: Affidavit then stating that we dispute the survey done date on property description :confused::confused::confused:

FWIW, this meets the five conditions required for AP in MO. After 13 years can our neighbor reacquire land we have been using/improving, simply by having a surveyor stick a new pin in the ground, or do they have to have a court order?

I knew someone would go to AP, because they did not read or did not understand what I wrote. No one is taking anything from us through AP. According to the new survey, giving my neighbor land that we have been using for 13 years, and others before us for maybe as long as 46 years, we would...

Is there a document that can be recorded to indicate you dispute a land survey? That is the only question I am seeking an answer to at this time, so when a survey is recorded, I can file a document disputing it, if there is such a document. The Situation We have owned our house and lot...

Law is whatever a judge in a courtroom decides it is, and do not trust a cop/prosecutor. Things in a courtoom tend to go the way the local law enforcement system/judiciary want it to. Hey, it's their home court and their referee. :cool: Don't assume law is cut and dry, always the way...

I went to the Recorders office today to look at deeds, Assessor's maps, official County aerial maps, and surveys (if they were recorded). Coming home with all the to wits and whenceforths running through my mind, I came up with the following thought. Feel free to let me know what you think...
