What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
I recently inherited my familys home. my neighbors have approached me 7-8 times via phone & by the fence asking where the property line is I have told them to my knowledge it is where their chain link fence is. the fence was put in 30 + years ago. my family has been maintaining our side of the fence ever since and they have never stepped foot on my side. they had a fence installer on their property and asked for the current fence to be removed and moved 2 feet back towards my property the fence installer refused. again this week they approached my at the fence and stated they wanted to put in a gate to access the other side of the fence. I suggested this would not be a good idea and later put up no tresspassing signs. a few hours later the wife showed up on my doorstep accessed my property from the driveway which is also posted no tresspassing she was crying and said I was a mean angry person and that they only wanted to put a gate in becasue I put in trees along the property line and becasue I couldnt see behind them anymore they would have to maintain it. the wife hides in the bushes and breaks branches to get my attention when im on my patio then steps back behind her shed so i cant see her. I have read up on adverse possession from what i understand as over 30 years have passed and my family has been maintaining the 2 feet in question I own this land. weather I do or not I dont care my real issue is what can i do to have them stop harrassing me over the property line ? I am also concerned about what false & manufactured claims they may make after she showed up at my door crying blaming this all on me. she also said well Ill have to live there and pretend you dont exist.... that would be nice but they obviously cant do this. I have never done anything to these people I have always been pleasant but their behavior is really starting to concern me as the wife is obviously unbalanced if shes standing in the bushes breaking branches and hiding.
