Encroach

Et Ux.

To build a structure which is in whole or in part across the property line of another’s real property. this may occur due to incorrect surveys, guesses or miscalculations by builders and/or owners when erecting a building. the solutions vary from giving the encroaching party an easement or lease (for a price, usually) for the lifetime of the building, or if the structure is small, actually moving it onto the owner’s own property.
