Property Line Boundary Dispute
Hi everyone,
Last summer I purchased a nice single-family home in my town in southern Michigan to rent out. The neighbor is now giving my tenant a hard time by saying that his property actually extends into the driveway of the property that I own.
The title company isn't willing to help resolve the situation at all, and they are recommending that I get a survey to clear up where the boundary is with the neighbor.
When I look at the GIS online, I find two different ones. One of them seems to support what the neighbor is saying, the other seems to support that the neighbor is incorrect and does not own part of my driveway.
Any thoughts on strategies to resolve this before I spend $1,000 on a survey?
Thanks for any advice!
