Grandfather law

You might want to provide some facts - that really doesn't provide a basis for anyone to understand what you are intending to discuss.
There is some hillbilly legal theory floating around out there.
When I was growing up I saw it work.
My buddy's grandad had rights to hunt a piece of land, that land got sold. The old man went to the new owners telling them how we all had the rights to hunt there because of some hillbilly land rights stuff.
Funny part is that the guy took his word for it and put it in writing that we could all hunt there.
Total bullshit though, but the old man did believe it.
Not that any of that applies to your case, as you haven't given us much.

Well my deed says I own it and having a surveyor come in,and my lawyers is going to handle this.
When I see hillbilly law I think of @Briar Lee
Hunting,,,not the problem, it is just some trying to bully or tell me or you what to do
He's no hillbilly.
Sounds like someone else has allegedly been using it? Claims you've lost your rights by not using yourself and/or failing to object? All a matter of the law of your state and . . . the facts. Or did you just find out part of the land your deed identifies isn't within any of your recognized boundaries and they've had it forever (in which case you won't own it much longer)?
It's not "grandfathering" but please leave it to your lawyer and let him/her sort it out.
Ok I can see that ,but I keep the grass cut and I also use it in the winter....the other person has not touched this in the 30 years I have been here also many before the last owners
If you have been using property identified on your deed (now guessing you mean not strictly within established boundaries) and nobody else has used it in 30 years, literally not used it, I'd think your lawyer would rather have your case than the other person's case (but saying that without knowing basically any facts whatsoever). It's still state law and fact specific so again, you'll need to trust your lawyer to sort that out.
Neighbors! Give me none, haha.
Not sure of my boundaries that is why I have suvarory coming ,I want to know what I own, not trying to take anything away from the other party but I would like to know what I own after 30 years. God I am too old for this, I just wanted to pass it down to my kids
You should.
I'd just hire @Briar Lee.
He'd probably send out some lawyer papers for a few bags of Bouy Gold.

Every day in my law office, for forty one years, whenever anybody came in wanting to pay their hard earned money, for a boundary dispute or over an easement by necessity or prescription —-(google those terms of legal art) ——
My mind drifted back to Bug Tussle, and my mother was young and beautiful and we sat in a new home on a paid for 300 acre farm with fat cows and fat hogs and new cars and new trucks and nice tractors and everything we might want, a veritable paradise, and she’d say
Vanny, what was our Master trying to say here?
—-
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

I never took one red cent, I’d refuse even the office visit payment, if a person who didn’t grow up as privileged, and as well loved, and as secure as I was wanted to hire a surveyor and start a legal battle only lawyers could win and the client invariably lose.
Anybody who would argue with Christ on the Mount of Olives, might soon turn my ass over to the Bar Association, or sue me and raise my malpractice insurance, or spread the truth what a greedy no account piece of shit I would be, if I stirred up litigation like that.
On the other hand, my eyes would often light up, when a victim of such a lawyer came in.
With permission I’d agree to their proposal on the condition so long as each side paid their own lawyer and they went out to dinner and got to know each other better, my client’s treat.
In this old sin cussed world full of grief and woe the last thing anyone needs is a neighbor who hates the sight of them, you know?
Here’s to you Mama, who showed me how to lawyer and prosper and live—-
