<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I dealt with this exact situation recently. I represented the neighbor that was encroached upon, with the neighbor's main house was encroaching by 5 feet!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The way we worked it out was a 3-way negotiated solution between my client, my client's title insurer, and the neighbor. The neighbor sent a letter claiming adverse possession, and I convinced my client's
title insurer that it should accept coverage without the necessity of a quiet title suit being filed. It took quite a bit of coaxing, but they eventually agreed. They assigned a claims attorney to the matter, who worked with me and the encroaching neighbor
to agree on a new boundary line, process a BLA, a settlement agreement between the neighbors, and finally a diminution in value appraisal and settlement agreement between my client and the title company. The whole process took 18 months and required a good
deal of patience, but in the end everyone was happy. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
