Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Land Boundary Dispute

Hello, I am in the process of having a garage built the forms for the foundation have been placed and inspected by the City of Quincy. We went before the Zoning Board in Quincy and has a public hearing. Then the building permit was issued. My abutting neighbor is disputing an eight foot section of land from my garage to his property. The neighbor has put in a driveway on this section of land. We have had the land surveyed and surveyor is stating that the dirveway is actually on my property. On Monday we have a hearing set for Land Court in Boston. Could you tell me what to expect at the hearing and any important information I should bring with me?

...an attorney. Seriously, if this matter is important enough, you should avail yourself of competent legal counsel.

It is impossible from the information provided in your answer to know what the source of the dispute is, and or what defenses might be available to you or or the neighbor.

If the outcome doesn't matter to you, that's different.
