Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Land encroachment

my property has just been re-surveyed because the property next door to me while under construction, the owner smashed the property pin. the property pin has been reinstalled. the side yard property next door is approximately 7 inches on my side of the property line. The owner of the property purchased the property for sale. However, he lost the property to the bank. can i charged the new owner a fee for encroaching on my property. there was a mini-barrier put up by the former owner. the contractor for the bank, tore the barrier down and placed rock pebbles along the front side yard. Now that the property pin has been set, can i charge them a fee for encroaching on my property.

Re: Land encroachment

This many not be an encroachment. I deal with a lot of easement/adverse possession/property line issues. Contact my office if you want a true assessment of your issues. Be careful, because any statement you make may harm your interests if you do not know this area of the law.
