Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: Oil Tank

You need to be very careful with this issue because there is a possibility of future environmental damage and you do not want to be left holding the bag. There are both legal and engineering issues. Your best course of action is strongly influenced by whether the tank is completely on your neighbor's land or only partially on it.

My firm handles matters of this type but we can't make adequate plans to help you in a Q&A forum. If I can be of further help to you, call or email. If you remind me that the contact was through Lawguru, the first consultation will be free.

Re: Oil Tank

I have read what the other attorney wrote, and John is as usual quite correct.

You need a lawyer's advice before you do anything. There is a real risk of huge expenses. The worst home oil tank I ever dealt with cost about $22,000 to clean up the mess, oil leaking into the ground. Nasty.

If you would like me to assist, please call my office. I am in Hackensack. A half hour consultation will be $75.00. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.

My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.
