I recently purchased 6 acres in Southern Illinois, and one of my neighbors is using a small corner of my property as more yard for them. There is a very obvious 8' tall post marking the corner that the previous owner put next to the survey stake marking that corner.
The thing is, I don't really care about them using that part of the ground, they mow maybe 300 square feet onto me. I'd have to walk through a huge blackberry patch to even get to that spot. But I've been reading all the cool /r/legaladvice threads about being landlocked, adverse possetion, squaters rights, etc. and I'm worried that somehow it will cause issues down the road.
Is there any implication if I choose to ignore it? Should I put purple paint on the post (in Illinois, signifies no trespassing)?
