Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Re: Neighbor Parks Car On Property For Ingress/Egress

First, start from scratch.

You should consider how You presented, when you "the newby" immediately started trying to change things before getting the lay of the land or establishing a relationship with your neighbors. Issuing "hints" and then demands, within essentially moments of your arrival, about how things should be, now that you own the land, could be, and apparently was, considered out of line.

So,...back up and apoligize. Then find out how things are done around your neighborhood. And, find out from your neighbor, how access to your back yard property will be and has been accomplished in the past.

Then You and your lawyer should carefully review your title report, deed, survey and reading carefully, to determine whether your fences and other items referenced, make you vulnerable to your neighbor's complaints.

It may be the prior owner of your home conceded the driveway for the fence or such other item or arrangement that is not recorded. Be open to the possiblities and compromise.

GOOD LUCK,

Re: Neighbor Parks Car On Property For Ingress/Egress

Your post was incomplete, but you have a lawsuit. The neighbor, assuming you have provided all the relevant information, is a trespasser. You can sue him. It will be very expensive. Since you already have an attorney, I have to presume he told you this too. Hence I would say I don't really understand the question unless you're hoping that the Fairy Lawmother will arrive and make it all better. Not going to happen. But you have my sympathy. Sincerely. I realize this response is a little snarky, but you're in a smelly place and it's going to be godawful expensive to fix it. Not much more I can say.
