Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Missouri

Re: Neighbor states that our home is on his land.

When you purchased the land, there should have been a deed including a "legal description" of the land purchased. Likewise, your neighbor should have a deed with the "legal description" of his property. If no survey was done at the time of purchase it is possible that there is an error with perhaps some overlapping of the two pieces of real estate. If you purchased title insurance at the time of the purchase, then the title company will review the existing deeds and hopefully assist you in straigtening out any problem. If there is no title insurance, then you may need to consult with a real estate attorney. I would be glad to offer you a free telephone consultation if you would call me at 314-727-2822, but I will need to know all of the pertinent facts and review all of the pertinent legal documents before I will be able to provide competent legal advice. It may be possible that you have acquired some ownership interest to the land in dispute through adverse possession or through a prescriptive easement, but again, an attorney would need more information before providing an answer.
