An interesting question and not an easy answer. You may own up to the middle of the street but the public has the right to use the street and the sidewalk for all purposes of a public way if it is a public way. In some places the town owns the streets. It depends on how the street was originally laid out.

There is no single answer.

You would need to check the title to your property to find the original street layout. Street layouts are not universal. Some jurisdictions take easements of way and some own the fee to the streets. Some use a mixture of both. Sometimes the easement rights reach beyond the curb to include the far side of the sidewalk. Sometimes the rights end at the curb. The only way to answer your question accurately would be to find the original taking that created the city's rights in your particular street.

An experienced title examiner would need to study all the road layouts, takings and accompanying plans to answer this question for any particular property.

There may be "right of way" issues that need to be addressed. If the right of way has been maintained for a specific amount of time (determined by state law in YOUR state), you can demand that the right of way be continued. If there is no specific or other right of way and no access to the land, you might want to consider a lawsuit against the person who sold the land.

What you have is perhaps an "easement" question. Even if the deed does not say you have a right to pass and repass upon his portion of the driveway, you have an "easement implied in law." In other words, the owner knew about the driveway across his land, sold you the land with the driveway, and thus burdened his own land by giving you a perpetual right to use the driveway across his land. For future reference, you should amend the deed to include the easement, or obtain another signed document that describes the easement and have it recorded in the registry. This will help prevent any future owner from attempting to deny you the use of the driveway and the easement upon the driveway.

Here is an excerpt of Georgia's laws on squatting (adverse possession). You should contact a licensed real estate attorney to discuss your specific situation and any applicable local ordinances. Adverse Possession - O.C.G.A. § 44-2-140 (2007) - Title to or right or interest in registered land in derogation of that of the registered owner may be acquired by prescription or adverse possession. O.C.G.A. § 44-6-123 (2007) - There may be no adverse possession against a cotenant until the adverse possessor effects an actual ouster, retains exclusive possession after demand, or gives his cotenant express notice of adverse possession. In such event, the cotenant may bring an action to recover possession. O.C.G.A. § 44-4-7 (2007) - When actual possession has been had under a claim of right for more than seven years, such claim shall be respected; and the lines shall be marked so as not to interfere with such possession. O.C.G.A. § 44-5-43 (2007) - A deed to lands which is made while the lands are held adversely to the maker of the deed is not void. O.C.G.A. § 44-5-161 (2007) - (a) In order for possession to be the foundation of prescriptive title, it: (1) Must be in the right of the possessor and not of another; (2) Must not have originated in fraud except as provided in Code Section 44-5-162; (3) Must be public, continuous, exclusive, uninterrupted, and peaceable; and (4) Must be accompanied by a claim of right. (b) Permissive possession cannot be the foundation of a prescription until an adverse claim and actual notice to the other party. O.C.G.A. § 44-5-163 (2007) - Possession of real property in conformance with the requirements of Code Section 44-5-161 for a period of 20 years shall confer good title by prescription to the property against everyone except the state and those persons laboring under the disabilities stated in Code Section 44-5-170. O.C.G.A. § 44-5-164 (2007) - Possession of real property under written evidence of title in conformance with the requirements of Code Section 44-5-161 for a period of seven years shall confer good title by prescription to the property against everyone except the state and those persons laboring under the disabilities stated in Code Section 44-5-170, provided that, if the written title is forged or fraudulent and if the person claiming adverse possession had actual notice of such forgery or fraud when he commenced his possession, no prescription may be based on such possession. O.C.G.A. § 44-5-168 (2007) - (a) Whenever mineral rights are conveyed or whenever real property is conveyed in fee simple but the mineral rights to such property are reserved by the grantor, the owner of the real property in fee simple or his heirs or assigns may gain title to such mineral rights by adverse possession if the owner of the mineral rights or his heirs or assigns have neither worked nor attempted to work the mineral rights nor paid any taxes due on them for a period of seven years since the date of the conveyance and for seven years immediately preceding the filing of the petition provided for in subsection (b) of this Code section. (b) In order to obtain absolute title to mineral rights in the circumstances described in subsection (a) of this Code section: (1) The owner of the real property in fee simple or his heirs or assigns may file in the superior court for the county where the land is located a petition requesting relief in the nature of declaratory judgment. The petition: (A) Shall contain all essential, required paragraphs, including jurisdiction; (B) Shall contain the name and last known address of the grantor of the property reserving the mineral rights and the names and last known addresses of his heirs or assigns or any other person known by the plaintiff to have an interest in the mineral rights; (C) Shall show: (i) That the plaintiff or his predecessors in title were granted and obtained a deed for the property in question; (ii) That the conveyance reserved mineral rights or that the plaintiff or his predecessors in title conveyed the mineral rights and reserved or retained the fee simple title to the real property; and (iii) That, for a period of seven years preceding the filing of the petition after the conveyance, the owner of the mineral rights or his heirs or assigns have neither worked nor attempted to work the mineral rights nor paid taxes on them; and (D) Shall include any and all prayers regarding the land that the plaintiff may desire. Specifically, the petition may pray that the court find that the plaintiff has obtained title to the mineral rights through adverse possession and that the plaintiff be granted title to mineral rights; (2) Upon a finding in the plaintiff's favor, the court shall issue a judgment and decree declaring that the mineral rights involved have been lost and that the plaintiff has gained absolute title to such mineral rights; and (3) Service shall be perfected in the same manner as service on defendants in an in rem proceeding, including service by publication. (c) Nothing in this Code section shall restrict the court from granting further plenary relief, whether legal or equitable; and the failure of the petition in the plaintiff's favor shall not affect the right of the plaintiff to any other relief, legal or equitable, to which he may be entitled. (d) Any person named in the petition or any person having an interest in the mineral rights shall have the right to intervene in a case brought under this Code section. (e) In order to maintain the status quo pending the adjudication of the questions or to preserve equitable rights, the court may grant injunctions and other interlocutory extraordinary relief. (f) Nothing in this Code section shall apply to a lease for a specific number of years nor to an owner of mineral rights who has leased the mineral rights in writing to a licensed mining operator as defined in Part 3 of Article 2 of Chapter 4 of Title 12.

No. Dong so may cause adverse consequence if and when one of the two parties move. It is your property and therefore your responsibility to fence your own yard. You can share the fence and the costs. You would each pay half. Also, depending on the laws where the property is located. If your neighbor puts a fence on your property and not on the property line (a few feet inside on your property) they could end up owning those few feet after several years. Adverse possession.

According to the information at the link provided below there are three ways to claim adverse possession. If the claim is based on a recorded written document and the claimant has paid property taxes on the property, the claimant must have maintained possession for seven years. If the claim is based on an inaccurate written document but the claimant did not pay taxes, the time period for maintaining possession is 10 years. If no documents are involved and the adverse possessor has not paid property taxes on the property, then the time period for maintaining possession is 20 years (Sec. 893.25-893.32). Title by adverse possession must be established by a court decree.

Quite frankly, it would depend on where you live. My advice to you would be to visit the city or town hall and ask them for their advice. Chances are that you or your neighbour will have to hire someone to survey the land to prove who owns the land the fence currently sits on. First, you should hire an attorney who will help you frame the proper question, such as "what is adverse possession" and the relevant statute of limitations and other elements that will determine your case. Second, you should not rely exclusively upon advice obtained at town hall. Civil employees are not generally authorized to give legal advice to the public, and even if they do, it is not necessarily correct. Third, the law of trespass (and adverse possession of real property) is rather complicated and you should not jump to conclusions.

If you do not prove adverse possession, which seems likely at this point, and it is proven by survey to be on his property, yes, you will have to move it. If you do prove adverse possession (your lawyer will explain the rules), then not only do you not have to move the fence, the property on your side of the fence becomes yours.

Under Title 68 (sections 81 et seq) of the Consolidated Pennsylvania Statutes, you need 21 years of continuous adverse possession without the owner filing an action for possession (i.e., for trespass and ejectment), under the statute of limitations. There is a statutory form for recording a claim of a.p., absent which such claim would be invalid against a later purchaser from the owner of record, if the a.p.'s possession has lapsed for more than six months. Furthermore, Section 5530(b) states: :"No entry upon real property shall toll the running of the period of limitation [21 years], unless a possessory action shall be commenced therefor within one year after entry...."

Can you provide more information? There really is no way to "stop" adverse possession, but depending on the facts, you may have defenses available. The only true way to end adverse possession is by legislative change. For example, in Washington there is a bill, HB 1479, which would effectively put a stop to all claims of adverse possession, but until that bill is passed, there is really no way to stop someone from using adverse possession as a way to steal another's property.

Yes, in fact filing suit is often a requirement, to prevent the running of the statute of limitations on the trespass, after which you would have no way to evict them.

The property line defines the property, so it can't be 'past' the defining limit. You need to make sure you know where your property line is and make sure you take care of it.

If you have taken property that is beyond your deeded or surveyed property line by following the necessary requirements for adverse possession, then you will need to protect your property rights from others taking it back from you, just as with any other real estate.

Your local jurisdiction will have procedures for filing papers in court that will "quiet title" on the newly established property line, so you will have a "deed" with a legal description that includes the additional property you have taken.
