What is the name of your state? Alabama
I have just had my property surveyed, which my parents deeded me in 1998. It shows that one of my neighbors, who has horses in a pen, has encroached 10-15 feet onto my property. I don't really know who is living there now. It is not the fault of the current owners of this property; 30-odd years ago, the original owners who lived there had horses and built the pen. I don't know if they and my parents were aware of the encroachment or even if it existed at that time. The people living there now are the third family to live on that property.
When I get the surveyor's report, I will be going to my neighbors to tell them they need to move their fence.
I hope this doesn't sound stupid, but would it be safe to take a witness along, in case the neighbors get an attitude? I will be pleasant in speaking with them, and if they get an attitude, will leave and get a lawyer to write them a letter.
Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you very much.
