What is the name of your state?Maine: A future neighbor purchased a 3 acre houselot with no road access but a deeded right of way across my 8.5 Acre property. He has cut and sold wood from a 50 ft by 600 ft ROW forested by mature mixed hardwoods and white pine which was seperated in piles for tree length hardwood and pine sawlogs. He has declined my repeated requests for reimbursement for the value of the wood. He has declined providing me copies of receipts of sale of this wood from the wood trucker. Explanation started with, " the wood has no value"' to "Some of it was from my land only"' to "I own the wood on the ROW and have no intention of paying you". I anticipate incurring costs for a forrester to estimate the value of the wood and legal costs for securring reimbursement. I have also heard of a law allowing tripple damages for theft and sale of wood.
Am I entitled to receive the proceeds for wood sales? Could I file a criminal complaint for theft?
