What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? illinois
a piece of land joining our property line approx 15 to 20ft wide, on the other side is a large creek wooded on both sides of the creek. We have lived here 16 years, have planted trees, pets and extended our fence along the front of our house, about 3 sections extend onto said land. We have maintained this land from the time our house was build in 1994, never once has the owner of this piece of land maintained it, the owner is a developer that has a reputation for being obnoxious, he wants us to move our fence and says he is selling that piece of land along with a lot on the other side of the creek. No one could put anything on this ground there isn't enough room and would have to go along side my house to access it. Is their a law that would let us claim this as part of our lot after maintaining it so long and it being of no real use to anyone else. If it weren't for us this ground would be in bad shape
