The bold portion is what my friend explained to me.
Though I don't really know how you'd classify the land, it's most likely a platted subdivision. All the houses in the area are on one street that connects to a township( or state?) road on both ends, like a horseshoe. They're all around the same age which leads me to believe the neighborhood was a development back in the 50's.
Does that mean that, assuming it was a development that the developers would have records of the property lines and whatnot?
I'm told the guy isn't going to be a problem. I just don't want issues to rear their ugly heads after I replant shrubs and bushes down the property line.
Though, the seller has confirmed that the trees that the neighbor cut down were most assuredly on the seller's (our new) property.
Sorry for being confusing, this is all very new to me!
