What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
I just purchased a piece of Real Estate from an owner that inherited the lot. She received 10 acres and sub-divided 2 acres off a few years ago with a house leaving 8 acres with another house. Last year she sub-divided again selling 6 acres and keeping the last 2 with the other house. Here is where my problems come in. Early this year the first parcel and house's drainfield started failing and found out that it is on my 6 acres. The new owners have only tried to temporarly fix problem. I started construction on my new home on the 6 acres that I bought. While putting the driveway in I found the drainfield for the other 2 acres and house also on my property. My driveway runs directly over the pipes. No one is living in this house so its hasnt started to fail yet. The owner is renovating to sell so its emty. There are no easments or right aways on the deed or plat. Shouldnt have this been disclosed to me before it was sold? What legal actions can I take to have them move the drainfileds. I dont want them to sell and later on the drainfield fail and ruin my driveway.
