What is the name of your state? CO
I own a home in a subdivision where they use "zero lot lines". In other words my property line is between my neighbors house and mine (obviously). I have a use Easement on his land up to his house, plus I have the obligation to maintain his property up to his house. On teh otehr side of my neighbors house, he has a use easement of his neighbors property and he must maintain their property. Every house in our develpment is this same way.

The use easement specifically calls out that I could build a Patio, landscaping, hut tub. The easement also states that I can put other things on his property so long as there is not an "Undue Hinderance" upon my neighbor.

I poured a concrete parking pad that abutts my house and crosses teh property line by 3 feet, but is still 4 feet from his house. The town approved the parking pad as did a Master Homeowners Association. He wants to sue me to remove the parking pad based on his belief that I can't put a permanent structure on his property. He is worried that someday it may become a trash dump which would lower the value of his property.

If he sues, I am so sure I am right that I don't want to pay for a lawyer. thoughts? Also, would my Title Insurance cover the cost of a law suit if the Insurance was bought after teh pad was built?
