Re: real estate misrepresentation
Your first option is to compensate your neighbor for the destruction of his trees.
Your second option is, before you try anything else along your property line, to review the survey you should have had done before you purchased the house.
Your third option is to check independently everything about the real estate you plan to purchase.
Just because someone tells you something doesn't mean it's true. People make mistakes. The ultimate responsibility for getting it right is yours alone, and the costs of getting it wrong are yours alone, also.
