Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Get boro to recind right of way

There use to be an alley way that ran in front of my house. My adress completey different than any on the street. Also, my house sits sideways on the main street so that the front of my house faces the side of the house next door. My property deed shows that my property line ends about the middle of what is now my driveway. Recently the property next to me sold for far less than what i paid for my house. I fear that the new owners will try to say that what i consider to be my driveway is actually public property and i will lose it.

Re: Get boro to recind right of way

Your question is too ambiguous to answer.

Is your driveway the old alley or does the driveway go to the alley?

Has there been action through the state, county, or municipality?

The title speaks of rescinding the right of way?

Anything on the matter in your property title or covenants?

Property Law is a very fact sensitive area the smallest detail may make the difference.

Has there been any communication between you and the new owner on the issue?

Sometimes the best defense to litigation is a good personal relationship.
