I live in Northern Illinois. I have a extra lot next to my house that I own. I bought the home and lot 4 yrs ago. I had a chain link fence up and took it down, with the neighbors hooked to it, with them knowing that I had a few feet on there side that was mine. Well they are moving now and shes being a pain in the butt. So I hired a land surveyor to locate my pins. He couldnt find mine but he found plenty elsewhere and he used his high tech equipment, and computer and found my lines. I have like 4-5 feet more than expected. They put new pins in the ground and are going to provide me a drawing showing the neighbors deck and other pieces of fence like 4 feet on my land. I want my land back. Do I need to give them a certain amount of time to fix the situation or can I expect it NOW? This neighbor is nothing but a pain in the butt so im done being the nice guy. Just want to know what I can do and how to do it? Thanks

I would ask them to get their fence and deck off of your property in a reasoniable amount of time it sounds like what they have on your property would take a weekend or two to move so thats what I would expect,
3 weeks at the very most.

I have to agree with Shel77 on his answer to you. But to make it stick even harder, send them a registered letter telling them this is what you want done. Re:remove all encroachments within a certain reseasonable amount of time. If they want to ignore your letter, then I would think it would be a good time to get yourself a lawyer and start playing hardball with them then.
