What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I have been possessing land adjoining mine for over seven years with claims of right. I would like to know if I should request a survey by a judge appointed procession? I have just recently been told that I was on "their" property and have claim under Ga code 44-4-7 but is that how you should go about it? Or would it be better to just sue under adverses possession? I know I should talk to a lawyer about doing it but I would like to know ahead of time what most likely will happen. I have posted the Ga code that is under the processing of land boundaries. Any knowledge I could get about it would be greatly appreciated.
§ 44-4-7. Effect of adverse possession for more than seven years
When actual possession has been had under a claim of right for more than seven years, such claim shall be respected; and the lines shall be marked so as not to interfere with such possession.
