So you have been watching here as a lurker for twelve years..... Patiently holding your tongue until this year.

I hope that you have better year in 2021.

Yup, newcomers with questions have pretty much dried up. And so will this site.

A good site a dozen years ago, but the owner has apparently lost interest....

Happy New Year.

In California, as in most states, the only person legally qualified to establish or re-establish a boundary line on the ground is a licensed land surveyor.

As that has already been done in this...

In your previous post you suggested that temporary construction markers placed on a construction site by a licensed surveyor to indicate building location, elevations, etc. were protected by the same...

In Missouri, "approved monumentation" is described in "2 CSR 90-60.060 Approved Monumentation"

AUTHORITY: sections 60.510(7) and 60.550, RSMo 1986 and 448.2-109, RSMo Supp. 1988.*

As Budwad clearly points out:

All you are is a trespasser with no property interest in the property.

You are precisely the target of the 2014 "squatters" acts.

So you return some day to find...

I wonder if sometime in the near future, before the OP "perfects" his claim to the property, he returns home after work, shopping, etc. and discovers:

Michigan has some laws on the books relating to squatting, trespassing, eviction, etc. with which the OP should become more familiar, specifically PA 223 and PA 224 of the 2014 session.

We dealt with this a while back.....

I agree that it is best to consult an attorney in the matter.

The attorney will have a variety of defenses to explore. One of the first will be to determine the date of the creation of the...

This would be the perfect time to write a letter to the neighbor, but do not ever write and send it yourself.

If you do not already have an attorney, check around for one and have them write and...

This sounds like a reasonable approach. Understand that, in Ohio, adverse possession claims are very difficult to pursue and win. I wouldn't worry about it.

Something else I would do: check with...

Of course we are not talking about a fence problem, but a neighbor problem.

Your survey, to be ordered, is the only correct first step in addressing the issue. As an Ohio Licensed Surveyor (fully...

I might with a bit more information. Spent years surveying boundaries in West Virginia. What I would need to know:

The full unredacted property description. PM it to me with the messaging...

The OP has told us that the easement in question was created in 1955 by a court order. As it is doubtlessly a matter of public record, it may be valid without being found in other county records. ...

You make a good point. His "many many years" of easement experience date from his entrance here in 2013. He has learned a bit from me over that time, as I have actually created easements and he has...

Do not build these gates and then ask if they comply.

That would be the correct approach.

Do the "man toys" constitute any part of a business? For example, are you opening a vehicle repair, storage, customizing etc. operation?

Easements serve specific named parcels of land. As the developer's parcel is named in the easement, the developer is the dominant...

An example of why this site has such a poor reputation as a legal resource on the internet. When I joined, many years ago, the owner actually moderated it for a while.

Today, it just sounds like...

Wow, what a snarky useless post.

First we have the useless and insulting question of have I been to all of the assesors offices? Pure snark. All of the offices disclaim on their websites any...

All assessor's offices in California specifically disclaim any function of giving legal advice.

At this point the HOA is represented by an attorney and you are represented by an owl.
