Re: Seperation of Shared Connected Property - Concrete Front Porch and Steps
It all depends on the original paperwork filed with the recorder of deeds regarding the sharing of the property.Whether there was an agreement as to the future possibilities or not. You can find out the info about the new owners at the recorder of deeds office and contact them to try to make an agreement regarding the property. If not, you will have to go to court.
