Q: Neighbors encroaching on property, cutting down trees; need legal help in Oklahoma.
I have lived on my land for 28 years, and the neighbors to the north and south have been encroaching onto my property. They are moving in and cutting down my trees, and I've been told I need an attorney to help. I have surveys from 1912 through 2022 proving my property boundaries. There are markers from the surveyors, but the neighbors keep removing them, and they have cut down the tree line that has been in place for 28 years. I have not had previous issues with them and have not yet taken legal action. How can I address this situation?
A: You have been told correctly. You need an attorney to help you. There are avenues to address this. Contact an attorney in the area where the damage is occurring, and they should be able to help you.
