Re: land disputes
Grandfathered? Not hardly, but it's possible that you may have an easement of some sort over the adjoining property with respect to the driveway. The dog lot, (whatever that is), you will likely have to move if it's mostly or entirely on your neighbor's property.
The first step (if you haven't already done so) would be to get an updated survey on your property to see
exactly where the property lines fall between your land and that of your neighbor.
