my driveway and my neighbor

[magchad]

What is the name of your state? mass
when i first bought my house my neighbor approached me telling me that my driveway was a shared driveway .....and she also said that some of it was on her land ...and the problem is she uses it all the time to drive in her car back yard and she comes and goes out of my drive way......when she has a driveway of her own on the other side of her house .....but she constanly puts her car in the backyard .....now im not sure of where the property line is.....it my be in the middle of the driveway..... but does she have the right to be comeing and going on my driveway ?????

Call a surveyor and pay to have your property surveyed and marked where the lot lines are . That will help show exactly where the lot lines are , about your nbr using the driveway . Were there any written easements in the documents with the house when you bought it ? getting those answers will help you make a decision as to how to deal with this . and do think about consulting with a lawyer

NO !!!!!There where no easements in any of the documents ........and if the property line runs through the drive way does my neighbor have the right to go on my driveway ????? and im working on finding a surveyer

**A: until you get your survey, you have no idea where the legal property boundary lines are.
So stop asking if your neighbor has the right to go on your driveway until you are positive the neighbor is going on YOUR property.
