What is the name of your state? illinois.
i live in a subdivision in which the rear of the lots have a wooded area behind them. my neighbor has cleared an additional 100 feet of the wooded area behind the end of his lot and has improved the area with grass. he has been using and maintaining the property for 15 to 20 years. the property is owned by a development company. my neighbor claims this ground as his own since he has been maintaining it. does he have any legal rights to the additional property?
