Q: The deeds and property histories say that i own a house. The improperly placed lot lines say i dont own a house.
My nieghbors lot description has errors in it. These errors caused the surveyors to make inaccurate maps. The private neighborhood association wont let me onto my property to survey it properly. The people living in my house also sent my surveyor hiking. The local police refused to look at my evidence and arrested me for trespassing ON MY PROPERTY! Now i have to go to court for this trespassing charge. What do i do?
A:
If you are facing a criminal trespass charge, you need to consult with a criminal defense attorney immediately and/or get a court appointed criminal defense attorney. You should change the category of your question to "Criminal Law."
Once the criminal action is taken care of, you should consult with a local real estate attorney who is familiar with boundary disputes, to help you resolve your problems with title.
