My Husband and I need legal advice from a lawyer we own 2 acres of land,since1978.?

It's always possible that property lines were lost or abandoned before you purchased the property - the first thing you need to do is check with your county assessor for a legal description of your parcel (most times the description is on your deed). You might also need to have a "civil engineer" to come to your land and make sure that the lines are marked correctly. Parcels are set in measurements from the main roads - by quarter miles and feet from the center of two other measurements. If after your property lines are confirmed and staked out - then if the pretender who tore down your fences is wrong - you can sue him, for the cost of replacing your property line fences. There is another way that your property lines might change and that is if a utility company has placed an "offset" or "easement" for future need - Electrical, natural gas, and broadcast lines have precedence and may arbitrarily take some of your property for their use. That is called "eminent domain" - and all counties, city's and municipalities reserve the right to do that for the public good (uses include roads and railways - channels for water, etc)

All this you can investigate on your own - you have time if not money.

If this other person has some claim on the land dating back to before you bought it, you may have acquired the property through adverse possession. This means that if you have occupied and controlled the property without interruption for a certain number of years, it has become yours. The laws regarding adverse possession vary from state to state. If you contact the local bar association in your state, they may be able to answer a question or recommend someone who would represent you without charge. You might also get some help from a law clinic in your state.

Most attorneys will not charge for an initial consultation of about a half hour. You might contact an attorney in your area regarding the situation. Ask him or her if he or she charges for an initial consultation. You may end up needing an attorney in order to keep your property. If it looks like you will need an attorney at the end of the meeting, ask him/her how much it will probably cost. If you can't pay that much, say that. Perhaps the attorney can refer you to free or low-cost legal assistance in your area.

A reference librarian at your public library may also be able to refer you to free or low-cost legal assistance.

You do not give very much information. You claim someone removed your fence. What papers? Court order? Deed showing that the fence was on their property?

Your city or township should have the property lines on map at their office.

you can get this settled without and attorney. just check with your local government and see who is right. it can settle this one way or another.
