Yeah, don't you have a survey from when you bought it?

If that shed has been there for actually 20 years, unless the prior owners of his property were making consistent claims with the county, it's definitely entirely yours.

Also, definitely don't pay for the cleanup and repairs yourself without talking to him, because that shit will be incredibly expensive.

Although depending on the state, he might not be at fault.

At least in Florida, a person is only liable for damage to a neighbor's property from a fallen tree if A) That tree was obviously dead or injured in a way that made it likely to fall AND B) The party who the tree falls on (you, in this case) made a notarized letter informing the owner of the tree that it's a potential danger.

I know this because a tree in my backyard fell into my neighbor's yard, but is currently caught in their tree (so it hasn't fallen all the way, or damaged anything), and the city inspector who came out told me this. He said as long as they don't tell me before it falls falls, if it does eventually fall, I'm not liable.
