How to Fix Structures Built on Property Lines

Alan Baumann
Posted

Hi Team,

Occasionally, I find older homes that were built on property lines.  This probably happened generations ago when numerous lots were owned by a family, but eventually, smaller plots were passed to heirs.  Now, perhaps children, siblings, cousins can't sell their land because a structure was built on lot lines.  

I think there may be opportunity in my area to re-draw/re-plat lot lines to fix these issues and liberate the owners.  And, perhaps, negotiate a sale in the process.

Have you come across an issue like this and were able to structure a creative deal from it?  How long did it take to fix?  What obstacles did you encounter, e.g. variances, heirship disputes?
