Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Part of my neighors fence is on my property - I asked them to remove it but they haven't. I need it removed before 7/27. Would it be legal for me to cut down that section --it would, more than likely damage their fence.

NO! It is not legal for you to cut it down.

Consult a local real estate lawyer to assist you with solutions to the issue.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.

No you can't that would be considered "self-help" the courts frown on that, Why is 7/27 a crucial date?
