My question involves real estate located in the State of: Virginia.
We recently moved into a new house. When we received the copy of our plat, it showed that a structure of our neighbor's (apparently an old shed?) was over our property line. We'd like him to move it so we can move forward with fence-building plans.
Normally I would just ask him to please move it since it's small and doesn't seem to be in use. But this neighbor has been so contentious and rude since we moved in (our house is new and until it was built, he had no neighbors on either side and he's not adjusting well) that I feel like I need to address this formally and I don't know how to get started.
I talked to a county official and she said it's a civil matter so I need to handle it myself -- so what's next? Certified letter with copy of plat, getting an RE attorney? Both?
