Q: My neighbor has encroached about 1/4 acre of my property. What do I do?
We do not know how to approach them with this. Their carport and all of their yard on the side of their house is my property. Do I offer to sell? Do I need to go ahead and file charges for trespassing? We do have no trespassing signs.

A: That appears to be a Boundary Dispute. Hire a LA attorney to search both adjoining owners titles. The common boundary may need a Survey, where the Surveyor would be your prospective witness. Then file suit to Determine the Boundary. This is difficult and expensive, but if you do nothing, you acquiesce to the new boundary.
