Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: Neighbor's parking on our property

i have read what the other lawyer wrote, and the basic idea is correct: if your neighbor takes over use of a piece of your property without permission and in a way that is clearly visible, then you are at risk.

Consult an attorney near you who handles real estate; you should be able to make a short and simple solution work, I would think.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in Hackensack (northern New Jersey). I will be happy to discuss

this with you; a brief telephone consultation will be free.

Re: Neighbor's parking on our property

As a general rule "adverse posession" without permission can cause ownership of property to change hands.

If you grant permission to use the property then it is not adverse.

� 2A:14-30. 30 years' possession of real estate, except woodlands or uncultivated tracts, and 60 years' possession of woodlands or uncultivated tracts however commenced or continued

Thirty years' actual possession of any real estate excepting woodlands or uncultivated tracts, and 60 years' actual possession of woodlands or uncultivated tracts, uninterruptedly continued by occupancy, descent, conveyance or otherwise, shall, in whatever way or manner such possession might have commenced or have been continued, vest a full and complete right and title in every actual possessor or occupier of such real estate, woodlands or uncultivated tracts, and shall be a good and sufficient bar to all claims that may be made or actions commenced by any person whatsoever for the recovery of any such real estate, woodlands or uncultivated tracts.

N.J. Stat. � 2A:14-30

If the period of adverse posession is less than 30 years then you will likely be able to protect your property interest.
