Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan
Property line
My neighbor is claiming to own five feet on our side of a fence that has been there for over thirty years. She wants to force us to give her access to those five feet (they are inside our fenced in back yard). What options do I have?

Re: Property line
If she has a survey that evidences that the five feet are hers, consider giving them to her and moving your fence. Alternatively, consider denying her claim and possibly becoming embroiled in a lawsuit to quiet title to the property and arguing that the property is yours via adverse possession.
If you have further questions or concerns, please contact me via my website at www.lawrefs.com. An article on adverse possession applicable to your case is available under the real property law section.
