This is only my second post so I hope I'm picking the right forum. Hopefully I can word this in a way that is understandable and not too long. Here goes.. Recently we were lucky enough to buy 5 acres off of Pohoiki rd 1/2 way between Pahoa and Isacc Hale. When we made our offer we asked the seller to have the land staked. The survey came back indicating that the property line was about 50' west of where it was assumed to be, which surprised all of us, especially my neighbors to be. My neighbor directly to the west is amenable to the adjustments, but HER neighbor has recently purchased his land and has already started a cabin on what would be her property. He went ahead and got a survey of his property, which indicates that that the property lines are as we originally though. SO, we have two conflicting surveys with my poor neighbor in the middle feeling pretty squished. I would be happy to ignore our survey and have things remain status quo, but I share my east property line with the state, so status quo might end up being a problem for me in the long run. Also I (of course) don't live here and will not be able to be around much for a few years. My squished neighbor in the middle, who I really like (don't know her, but we've talked quite a bit) is not in a financial position to get her land surveyed. What should I do? P.S. The reason I'm asking you all is that I've learned a lot from these forums, you all have a lot of wisdom, so thanks.
