If a branch from your neighbor's tree extends onto your property, the responsibility for maintaining that branch is a bit of a legal gray area and can vary depending on local laws and regulations. In general, you have the right to trim the branch back to the property line, but you should not... View More

No sign alone is going to prevent squatters from taking or trying to take over your house. A properly secured house, with constant video monitoring, will help. If you have the budget and comply with local laws an armed security guard will make a big difference.

I guess the first question is what is your goal here? If it is to get your son out of your house, the short answer is yes. Based on what you've written here and assuming he does not pay you any form of rent, you probably should file an ejectment action. An ejectment action is different than... View More

I am sorry to hear this. Are you the sole owner of the home? Does your son live with you as a tenant and stopped paying rent? If your son does not own the home and does not have any type of lease with you, you could seek to have him removed from your home. However, it is best to consult with an... View More

Shouldn’t it have gone to the adjacent owners when the street idea was abandoned and not become a lot? What is the law for ownership of paper streets in NJ?
answered on Dec 4, 2023
There is not enough information to give you a definitive answer. There are two possibilities. If the right-of-way is an easement for the public road, then you have a claim. If the right-of-way for the road was sold to the municipality outright, then you do not. You would need to have the title... View More
