An abutting property is causing problems with my property due to the actions of a former owner. The property is now owned by a Trust through foreclosure, and they refuse to work with me. I want to put a lien on the property so they can't sell it without new owners knowing about the issue if they do their due diligence. Has anyone done this or does anyone have any suggestions? Would it be a restraining order, a no trespass or a nuisance,or a combination therof, or something different? The property is in Massachusetts.
The previous owner dug out hit lot, and this is causing my property to "sink" into it. The foreclosure Trust initially told me to get quotes for a retaining wall and send photos of the properties, but once I did, and they saw them, they told me they would be selling the property "as is" with no guarantees or warranties" and stopped all conversation with me.
I think not disclosing it would be fraud; all I want is my property cured, so I want a lien for the value of the quotes I received to construct the wall. I don't want someone buying it and then I have to sue them and then they have to sue the previous owners for non-disclosure. Just trying to catch the owner before its sold to a non-suspecting family or investor.
