Default Property Line Looks Like A Jungle (Billy)

Well Billy, as far as income goes, I 'm also on a fixed income as I'm
retired and living on social security. He is much better off than
myself money wise. His home is a big duplex with a rental unit, he has
all kinds of investments, social security, big pension from where he
worked plus paid medical insurance from that employer also.

I'm no shister, but it seems as if you are being deprived of the use of
part of your property. Shade from his trees may also be reducing your
property value. If he has breached clearly marked property lines, he
needs to retreat to his own property. His behavior may be judged as
elder abuse as well, since you seem to be in a vulnerable situation.
What will you do when you can no longer trim his plants, yourself, incur
the expense to hire a gardener? You need to have a talk with your
neighbor, right after you talk to legal aid (first half hour should be
free). The idea is to be friendly, while regretting to your neighbor,
that he will have to pick up your court and lawyer costs, if an
equitable solution can't be arrived at. Don't enter into an argument,
keep it strictly on a financial basis.

I have SS
and that's it. He's in much better health also. I have asthma, heart
problems and can only walk for a few minutes before sitting down awhile.

Are you sure that you have asthma? An enlarged heart can mimic asthma,
and treating it as asthma can kill you. Just another little chagrin in
the end game( Heart failure can be treated, almost to the point of
being cured (as long as you keep taking your pills).

This is why I took up gardening. It's something I can do here at home
at my own pace. I can no longer hunt or fish which I loved to do.
Think I'll just cut his jungle off that over hangs my side and throw the
debris over on his side for him to deal with. ............... Rich
