You need to consult with an attorney who can review your situation and determine your options under your state laws. The details sound as though you would prevail in an adverse possession claim but you may need a court order to perfect that claim and clear the title to your property.

If your neighbor leaves a ball in your yard is it legal to keep it?

Yes, because it is on your property, and is now your responsibility, since it is on your lawn, and not on theirs, it can be yours because it is on your property.


Your irrigation system encroaches on your neighbors property he knows this and says its ok but does not want one of your heirs or sucessors to be able to say the property is now theirs?

Adverse possession must be "hostile." If the neighbor grants permission, then the possession is not hostile. A good way to resolve this is for you neighbor to lease the irrigation right to you for $1 a year or something like that. The neighbor can put this lease into writing, and you can pay 100 years (or whatever) in advance. As long as the neighbor does not lose his copy of the lease, he has redress against your heirs attempting to claim the property is theirs. Use a standard lease agreement (specific to your state) if you do this - they have all the legalisms worked out in advance. See a lawyer for more info.

If your neighbors tree is more in your backyard then theirs and its a huge tree which makes a lot of leaves mess on your yard and roof is there anything you can do about it?

You could try speaking with your neighbor in a friendly manner and ask if you can prune your side of that tree. Our neighbor behind us had no light coming in her window because of one of are large cedar trees. She paid for a tree pruner to come in and we supervised to be sure the tree wasn't ruined. We were happy and she got her light. You could ask your neighbor to join you in pruning the tree. If your neighbor is giving you problems then go to City Hall and ask for their help and also get to know your property laws in your State.
