You should address the situation immediately. You should consult an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your area. She/he can review your deed and your neighbor's, and also any recorded survey of the properties. You should take copies of the deeds and any surveys with you to the first meeting. After reviewing all the pertinent records the attorney will be able to determine what your options are.
You may have the right to demand that the neighbor move their driveway off your property depending on how long the encroachment has been in existence. You may find the neighbor has an easement or has acquired some rights if the driveway has been in the same location for many years. It is better to get a legal opinion before trying to discuss it with the neighbor. If the encroachment isn't too serious you may simply give your neighbor written permission for the encroachment, signed in duplicate by both parties, to prevent them from acquiring any rights in your property.
What else can I help you with?
Our house was built 2.5 years ago and our neighbor's house was done 2 years ago About 1 year ago our neighbors had a survey done and found out their driveway goes through our property What do we do?
There is a range of possibilities, depending on how long you plan to stay and whether or not you want to be friendly with your neighbors: * You can sell them the land under the driveway, which could also allow them to tear out the driveway and put in something worse, * sell them an easement to use that part of your property to cross your land, which also means it can be used as a driveway forever, * license this particular owner to use the driveway (or the driveway easement) either annually, or until they sell the house or remove the driveway, * ask them to move their driveway, or * sue them for trespass and force them to move the driveway. Whatever you do, put it into writing and have a local real estate attorney review it for you. If you completely ignore the problem, it will not go away, and the longer you wait, the more rights the neighbors may have (laches, estoppel, easement by prescription, adverse possession).

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.

Who owns the driveway?
Generally a driveway connects the dwelling to the street. The owner of the lot on which the dwelling sits usually owns the driveway. There may be a different situation where the driveway is shared by two property owners or there exists a right of way over the driveway granted to the owner of another property. In that case the deeds to both properties must be examined to determine who has what rights- the right to use or ownership rights. A property owner cannot block a right of way that has been granted to another party at some time in the past.You may need to consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your area who can review the deeds and explain your rights and options. That should be scheduled as soon as possible and would be a wise investment.
