First, you must determine whether your state subscribes to the legal doctrine of "adverse possession." This can easily be determined by calling a real estate lawyer--I would choose one who gives "free consultations." If the answer is yes, then you will need to initiate a lawsuit to quiet title to the building and land through the theory of adverse possession. In sum, if your state has adverse possession, your neighbors have no case.

What is building line in plat of survey?

The building line in a plat of survey refers to the legal boundary where a structure can be built on a property. It is typically set back from the property line to ensure there is ample space between the building and the street or neighboring properties. Adhering to the building line is important for compliance with local zoning regulations and to maintain uniformity in the appearance of buildings along streets or property boundaries.

What has to happen to make personal property real property?

Real property is land and anything attached to it that cannot be severed without injury to the land such as homes, garages and other buildings. Personal property is any movable or intangible thing that is subject to ownership and is not considered real property. Building materials stored on a building lot would be personal property. Once the house is built it becomes part of the real property. Fixtures in a building sit on the line between real and personal property. You can read more about that distinction at the link below.

What is encroachment on property?

An encroachment is an infringement on someone else's rights or intrusion on another person's property. It is most often used when describing real property such as the corner of an neighbor's garage that extends over the property line or a driveway that gradually grew over the property line and is now partly on your neighbor's land. Encroachments are often caused by surveyor error in placing the pins marking the boundaries in a subdivision and the party who built their swimming pool partly on their neighbor's land was not at fault.
