Re: grandfather law

You asked about making an agreement between previous owners a permanent thing.

You need to contact a local real estate attorney to deal with this matter. There are a number of possible solutions. Some of which are codified and others which are common law, but none of which could be described as a grandfather situation. Better that you deal with the matter now while you and the new neighbor are on good terms rather than when either you or he have done something to irritate the other.
