property survey results: property encroachement - next steps?

Property encroachments can have some very serious implications. You really should speak to a lawyer about this to avoid any risks and know all your options.

You should talk to a lawyer to make sure you make the good choice!

Depends on the type of encroachment as well...

My first step would be city hall and see what they think. Often they can handle the issue without costly legal bills. If they are unable or unwilling to assist then the lawyer is the next step.

Total agree try first to see if city hall can help trying to identify the bounderies of the property and for how long this property encroachments has existed. Get all the paperwork possible because encroachments are very complex issues and should be looked after by a lawyer.

Well, it depends upon the type of encroachment, but the best is to talk to your Lawyer, The City; ask your Realtor for help! This is lways the best solution: ask him for his help!
