neighbors shed on 'our' property!
We (my father's estate) are selling one of his properties. It is a small lot with a mobile home on it. We have a buyer who just got the results of the land survey back. It shows the neighbors shed sits on our property by about 2 feet.
The buyer's attorney told me that we must contact the neighbor and arrange for them to move it. The attorney said if we make contact and they say they will move it within a reasonable time frame, we can continue on with settlement.
How best to proceed? If the neighbor's agree to moving the shed, should we get it in writing? Dumb question, of course we should. What if they don't move it as agreed, will we somehow be liable with the future owner, who at that point would own it?
Thanks again!
