For Real Estate Lawyers.?
If a vacant lot has been maintained as in kept clean and been in use(without anyone claiming it) by one person for about 10 years , doesn’t this person have any right to this property? Now the property was sold by the city to someone else. Can someone advice. This is in Houston, Texas.
Anyone Know About Property Laws In Texas? Recommend Any Good Lawyers In Texas?
My parents bought their home over 15 years ago. It used to be part of a 5 acre track of land. When my parents bought their land they bought 1.3 acres of the 5 acre track. Recently their neighbor of around 10-11 years decided to sell after the death of her husband. When she put the property up for sale she had the land surveyed. The survey showed that the fence that has been up since before I was born (I will be 19 in June) has been moved. The neighbors want to put up a fence where their “real” property line is. The fence would then have to go through our house!!! We have talked to a lawyer about this and he says that since the original land surveyer was wrong it is the neighbors property and they are entitled to it. There is obviously a mistake here. Why would my parents have bought a house that is halfway on someone elses property? Since my parents have taken care of this property for the past 15 years and have paid taxes on it could it legaly be ours now? Any Texas Lawyers?
