If there is an agreement between the parties to re-locate the right of way, you can do that. If there is no agreement between the parties to re-locate, a lawyer would have to review any recorded right of way instrument to determine if the right of way can be re-located. If there is no recorded... View More

If fortunately nothing happened, and they have put it right no. You can only make a claim for what happened, not what could have happened.
It's fire wood poles that were left

You can contact the township's Zoning Officer for an answer to that question. I am sure that Lower Merion has a website that will give you the name of the person and contact information.

You can, in order of preference (1) ask/demand that the person leave; (2) demand rent in whatever amount you select, and allow the person to stay; or (3) hire a lawyer and sue the person to compel the person to leave.

Check your title. Note where the easement is refered to (though it could be a separate document ). Go to the Recorder of Deeds office for your county. Look up the title for the neighbor you mention.

I am a home owner in a town that has a Shade Tree Commission.

The problem is to get around this you'd have to file some expensive and time consuming legal proceedings that would cost more than the sidewalk bill. If you want to repair the sidewalk you need to get the boro to clear it--and take care of any roots.
Remember--the boro is elected. Get... View More
