Again, don't mess around, get an attorney.

This is bad advice. I can't tell you how many times I have been threatened and spent endless amounts of money on legal fees only to find out it was just alot of hot air.

Wait to see if you are served and then take action.

Please. Don't be an idiot.

The neighbor already has an attorney who has presented "Ripdog" with a contract. Its clear something is already underfoot and Ripdog's property rights are at stake. Obviously, Ripdog should not sign any contract regarding his property without having it reviewed.

Well, it so happens, Ripdog did get avice regarding the contract, which was smart.

On the other hand, had Ripdog ignored this situation and forced a (potential) lawsuit, he would have passed up an easy chance at getting a favorable settlement. Remember, his neighbor was knocking at HIS door, therefore, Ripdog had the leverage.

... Doesn't hurt to see what the fuss is about.

Once the lawsuit starts, the neighbor may already be "tied to the pot" and would have no choice but to see it through.
