I live on 2 acres on top a hill. I was told they can look at the property from the mail box which is at the bottom of the property. But they continue to drive up the driveway and help themselves to a look around the whole property.

Hire a VA attorney to search the title, and examine closely that recorded easement. If easement is for road improvement or maybe an underground utility system, probably no damages. Title companies rarely have a duty to anyone, but might get hit for negligence (again doubtful). Have an... View More
Some units have private fenced back yards. Would that area be granted by the HOA, or listed on the deed , or are those units using common area as their private yards? They were built 50 years ago. We are condos so homeowners do not own the land.

Do both criteria need to be met—being a non-U.S. citizen or legal resident and being an agent of a foreign government designated as a foreign adversary—to be considered a "nonresident alien"?

Neighbors turned garage into a rental apartment. They tore down (and rebuilt) our fence in the process. Now that it’s all said and done, they’ve built about 3-5 feet onto my property. What can I do about this? How did they legally do that to begin with? Shouldn't they have been stopped... View More
