How do we resolve Forest Service Boundary & private property line problems?

Bobus,

That doesn't sound like the USFS that i know. Is that on the Black hills NF?

Yes it is.. I think it will get changed pretty soon since the ranch is goin into her kids hands and they are talking of selling it off.. USFS will claim their ground then and in a hurry

They need to talk to Craig Babzien, the Forest supervisor of the Black Hills National Forest. I hear that he is good to work with.

You may have a neighbor to testify in your favor and witness your lines and corners. There is such a title as 'adverse possession' whereof you or others may have used and maintained a certain property in question and may be awarded full title.

We may be faced with this AP soon as a neighbor had pushed down our property fence without notifying us of the activilty yet, now, this property is up for sale the realtor showing our property as part of the sale. I dread things like this and really disturbs my confidence in the system...I PAY MY TAXES..a darn more than the neighbor has ever paid!

This is an ongoing problem, there are three properties for sale that join us on this very day. Not many new neighbors have manners and respect property lines; I miss the old folks, the original families whose ancestors worked and settled the country they,  for the most part,  were good, honest citizens...they're nearly all gone, sad.

It's not allowed here in NB.

Land Titles Act of New Brunswick

17(1)After the title to land has been registered under this Act,

(a)no right, title or interest adverse to or in derogation of the title of the registered owner or his right to possession shall be acquired by the possession of another; and

(b)no right to the access and use of light or any easement, right or profit à prendre shall be acquired in or in respect of the land by any person by prescription,
and any such rights acquired by any person prior to the date on which the title was first registered under this Act shall not be enforceable as against a registered owner if the existence of the right is not shown in the title register.

[Ron Scott]

The federal government doesn't recognize adverse possession. That's why the USFS isn't too rushed to resolve the land issue. They will eventually.
