    Re: Adverse Possession Claim

    Dear Mr. Churchill,

    I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of concern re-
    garding a portion of property adjacent to both our parties. According to my
    records and observations, it has come to my attention that I have been openly,
    continuously, and adversely possessing a section of your property for a period ex-
    ceeding the statutory requirements for adverse possession in Michigan.

    This claim is based on the following factors:


    1. Open and Notorious Possession: My possession of the disputed area has been
    visible, obvious, and not concealed from anyone, including you.
    2. Continuous Possession: I have consistently occupied and maintained the dis-
    puted area without interruption for the statutory period specified by Michigan
    law.
    3. Hostile Possession: My use of the property has been without your permission
    and has been against your property rights.

    I do not believe it is in either parties best interest to have this matter tied up in
    litigation for the foreseeable future. I am providing this letter as a formal notice of
    my adverse possession claim in an effort to resolve this matter amicably. I pro-
    pose that we engage in a constructive dialogue to discuss the initial complaint of
    the gutter downspout installation and your acquiescence to the disputed area of
    land that I have had possession of statutorily. Until this dispute is resolved, you
    are hereby notified by the person in lawful possession of said premises that I do
    not authorize you or a representative to enter the premises in dispute. If you or
    anyone acting on behalf and/or doing work for The Family Literacy Center are
    deemed in violation of this notice, you may be subject to arrest and prosecution.

    Please consider this letter as an invitation to discuss the matter further. I believe
    that a reasonable and fair resolution can be achieved through open communica-
    tion. I kindly request a response no later than January 31st, 2024 to address this
    issue. If I do not receive a response within this time frame, I will have no choice
    but to explore legal avenues that will include compensation for the labor and ma-
    terials used to install the current retaining wall, the cost associated for the re-
    moval of the walnut tree that was causing damage to the previous retaining wall,
    and to protect my rights with regard to the property in dispute.

    I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to resolving it
    in a manner that is fair to both parties.

    Regards,
    Rachel Benson
