I was wondering if anyone knows the Michigan laws regarding
adverse property claims.
We own a piece of property that has an easement granted for
a neighbors use to ingress and egress only. He is really
confusing easement rights and property ownership rights.
I have posted before regarding how difficult he has been.
For the past five years he has been openly caring for the property that contains the easement. The property owner
was located out of state and allowed the neighbor to care
for the land. Once we purchased the land (which he is well
aware of our purchase - he was the instrumental in arranging
the purchase for us - he still has continued to openly care for
the property.
We have talked to him and so has the previous owner of the
property to clarify that we are the clear owner of the property.
He still continues to be difficult. He has roped off portions of
the property, talked to us about our contractors messing up
"his" grass, and illegally applied for a driveway permit.
He really has pressured us to do a legal split of the property.
Which we do not want to do since he has been so difficult. And
we would like to maintan a buffer zone between us. Does he
have any ability to force an adverse possesion claim? We have
informed him to discontinue use of the property other than his
easement through the drive already in place.
