Property line encroachment - Details Provided - Closing soon.

Hi,

I am about to close a property, got new survey and found that neighbor is encroaching with couple of parking (about 8 foot - added in 2018) spots and fence iron extended (about 6 foot in 2017). Ariel image is add here as well. Image from Nov 2017 is showing addition of parking / fence. Older image same year is without these two extensions.

I have mentioned the issue with neighbor and they have ordered a survey of their own. Hoping to talk to them to resolve issue once it's available.

Seller wants me to close as-is and deal with it afterwards. Seller will be providing me their tax payment, and lawn care landscaping maintenance for several years. 

Q. Based on the timing of additions, does neighbor has adverse possession claim on these additions?

Q. With information provided by seller, would I as new seller be able to defend and reclaim?

Q. Can you recommend someone in DFW area who can right nice letter and/or help to reclaim.

Many thanks for your guidance.
