Re: Land owner with drive shared
Hi:
From the small amount of facts supplied it appears that you may have some problem.. If you neighbor has been encroaching on your property for the time that you have been there, and that conduct is open, notorious and hostile, then the doctrine of adverse possession may give you a problem. Good Luck
