Encroachment – Overhanging Eaves

When another person makes improper or unlawful use of the property of another individual, this is known as an incursion. On the one hand, an encroachment might occur accidentally, such as when someone constructs a garden shed a few feet beyond the property dividing line onto your property. This is an example of an accidental encroachment. On the other hand, it’s possible that it was done on purpose. Someone might, for instance, construct a house on the land you own in the country. Indeed, you can count on that happening. Only after legal action is taken may ownership or use of someone else’s property be taken away, as is typically the case when unlawful use or claims are made against another person’s property. In the event that there is contention regarding the location of a boundary line, it is possible that legal action will be required to settle the dispute.  Because of the manner in which they occupy your property, a third party may legitimately assert that they are the rightful owner of it under a legal doctrine known as squatters rights. Let’s say that your next-door neighbor builds a fence that extends ten feet onto your land. It was a blunder on our part. Both you and he are aware of the situation, but neither of you is taking any action to resolve it. Not a huge issue you say. It only means that you’ll have less grass to cut and he’ll have more.
