Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Re: taking advantage of senior citizen

Retain an attorney to send a formal cease and desist letter. And discuss with your attorney whether the neighbor's actions in pulling up boundary markers may be actionable both civilly and criminally. Good Luck!

You may wish to consider seeking a restraining order against this individual, afterproper notice. I verification of legal boundaries might be in order first. You may wish to verify the legal setbacks required by your zoning ordinances also.

If after thorough verification of property lines, setbacks, and a wrtten legal demand, this person persists in this behavior, then a law suit seeking an injunction and damages may be in order.

Hire an atorney to send a formal cease and desist letter to your neighbor. In the same latter, I would inform your neighber that disturbing, removing or defacing any surveying marks is a violation of Massachusetts law, which could potentially subject him to civil and criminal penalties. If your neighbor continues to be unresponisive, your father will want to consider filing a civil action for trespass and seek a restraining order from the Court preventing any further trespass onto his property. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Good luck.
