What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? maine
I bought a home 4 months ago, it's brand new but we did not build it. in the process of buying the home we came across several papers that showed that the builder(seller) applied for permits and was approved at every step in the process of building the home. we also have a certificate of occupancy from the town which states that the property is in conformance with all codes.
now, however it seems that the home is not in conformance with a right of way that in the deed says...20 ft r-o-w to access a wood lot. the neighbors who have this right of way had 30 days to appeal the building of this property but chose to keep quiet until we bought the home. it seems that they are threatening the town with a lawsuit. they want us to move the r-o-w to another spot (which is still non-conforming) and give them utilities and a driveway next to our house so they can subdivide their property. the town says if we don't give these people all this, they will make us move the house.
can they make us do this? also note this r-o-w has not been used in at least 66 years( we can prove this) and is not visable.also, there is no longer a wood lot to access, and this would then make it residential which the r-o-w- was not intended for.
also our title insurance will not cover the r-o-w.
anyone want to take a crack at this?
