Re: Encroachment Issue

You can not convey the wall by deed. You can grant an easement to your neighbor or force him to tear the wall down. You neighbor should assume full liability for maintaining the wall if an easement is granted. This obligation would be in the easment. Suggest you consult legal counsel. Gerald Hershenson Esq.
