I already created another thread about my house in another forum, but this is for a different matter.
We're buying a house! Closing at the end of July.
When the current owner of the house moved, the house we're buying was left vacant for a couple years. While it was vacant the neighbor behind this house decided to cut down the evergreens that created a natural privacy fence. However, the trees were actually on what will be our property.
His house is pretty ugly and I'd rather not have to look at it while I'm enjoying a beer on my deck. I'm going to play arborvitae to re-create the natural privacy fence.
Now, either he thinks the land is his or just didn't care and cut the trees down anyway.
People tell me a survey is pretty expensive and I had been talking with a friend who told me that I could have the county come and place a "corner-pin" (???) to mark my property and using the deed could measure approximately where the poperty line is.
Is that true?
