Q: We are buying our house and the side yard is suppose to be part of the purchase.
Their are 2 lots i n one and now someone is selling off the other lot. Apparently the survey shows our lot not the other lot and the deed is only our lot, this was never mentioned and not sure if the owner of the trust new this not sure if they where aware and maybe assumed it was all being sold as one. Its very confusing we don't know what we need to do. For years we have been the keeper and maintained the yard and trees and have some of our belonging on that side of the yard.

A: Hire a competent OK attorney to file a Quiet Title Action, etc. now. You will probably claim you own it by Adverse Possession. Hopefully you have paid taxes on both lots. Otherwise you will lose that lot.
