We maintain the land and have only six feet easement beyond the road at that point in the easement. She shares the easement in that area. Since she benefits and there is no other place to put the snow, if the land I push over the embankment lands on her land is it illegal?

If there is a Lien against the real property, then it remains despite any number of conveyances. It is not released because the lot becomes part of a larger tract.

Based on your explanation of the situation, if the HOA documents do not describe the abutting property as part of the HOA, it is not subject to the HOA covenants. I cannot think of circumstances under which abutting property could be 'forced' to become part of the HOA unless there is... View More

The wheels are on his property but about 5 feet of the trailer sticks out into my yard where my kids play. would it be the same law if a tree branch from another yard hangs over your yard?
answered on Oct 19, 2022
