Q: What should I do to stop them & keep them from continuing to use my land/barn? What do I do about the solar panels?
I live out of state, it appears my neighbor has installed solar panels on my property & are using & making improvements to my barn.
A:
It is nice of your neighbor to make valuable improvements to your property! But, I suspect that your neighbor does not see it that way. I suspect that you'll need to bring a lawsuit to enforce your rights. But, you could start by calling the police to make a trespassing claim or have an attorney send a Demand letter.
I recommend contacting an attorney to discuss the facts in more detail then he or she will be able to help you understand your rights, remedies, risks, paths forward, etc.

A: That sounds like a serious Boundary Line Dispute... Check your Deed, the adjoining owner's Deed, tax map and any survey plats. Look at all of this in conjunction with actually viewing the property. If it appears to be on your land, you must hire an attorney to file suit or you will acquiesce to the new property line over time.
