Texas adverse possession laws

John Ho
Posted

I have a house I bought last year with a survey included. The survey shows the house being 2.5 feet over the property line the house was built in 1950s.  Should I file a quiet deed claim with the courts or just leave it along and if the neighbor wanted to goto court, I can claim adverse possession. Btw the neighbor know about the house being built on their side.

Not sure why you purchased a house with that issue unless you bought it at dirt value, but adverse possession laws are not as "easy" as the gurus make them out to be. Your neighbor has you by the ying yang so don't make them mad, otherwise they can force you to move your house. Also, the photo is not a survey.
