Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Neighbor began and dropped Property line dispute now selling home

About two years ago my neighbor

began a property line dispute via her

lawyer. We went back and forth, offered

to draw up agreement that property line

fall along fence. Never heard another

word from her or her lawyer. Now she

is selling her property, but we still have

this issue unsettled. If I contact her

lawyer, will it prevent her from selling?

I would like this issue solved once and

for all, how should I proceed? (She is in

foreclosure and perhaps a little

desperate)

A survey should resolve the matter. In any event, the buyer will have the same problem.

Re: Neighbor began and dropped Property line dispute now selling home

this does not sound good.If your neighbor is in foreclosure she is probably in a panic.I doubt anyone has mentioned to the buyer this situation because the seller(or her agents) would have a duty to disclose this situation.(which could kill the sale).If you disclose this to the buyer and the sale does't happen the selller could sue you for interefence with the contract.I would suggest you e-mail me how to reach you or call me at my office to discuss this matter further.
