What can I do about a property encroachment claim?
I received a letter from a lawyer of a property owner stating I am encroaching on his property behind my house what it looks like from the enclosed map 20 ft onto his property with my fence and shed. I have been living here for 20 years and bought the house with the shed and fence in the location its in now. The lawyer wants me to sign this legal letter stating I acknowledge my encroachment and move my sheds. I don't feel I am on any one's land nor have I ever had anyone come to me saying it was their land nor when I bought the house there was anything telling me where my property line was. The back of my house is an outlet for the sewage system and I always thought this land was owned by the county. What can I do to protect myself? I don't think I should move my sheds and fence. Can I claim this land? Do I have any rights here?
