UA senior citizen X brought a plot with an old dilapidated house and built a new house on it around 25 years ago when he was working. Everything is documented on paper.
Now 25+ years after living in it, some guy with his dad comes and says X have some of their land inside X’s plot (X has a small yard beside their house which spans the length of the plot) and is demanding X vacate the land(~4-5ft width) and said they have papers proving it (according to them) and the guy’s dad’s dad sold the plot to the family X brought it from, but at the time of building they didn’t mention anything about having a slim part 4-5ft of land in it which they didn’t sell. Beside X’s plot there are empty plots belonging to other people with shared boundary walls.
So what to do about it? Vacating that part of the land from the yard will make access to their house narrower and tougher cause X’s doorstep is on that side. Also what sense does it make for someone to go to such lengths of threatening them just for a slim strip of land where a car won’t even fit, which has been bought and owned by X since 25+ years? Assuming the documents the guy has is legit and it does fall inside X’s boundary, can’t there be any other solution to this for X? They don’t want to give the area up and even if they do, such thin strip of 5ft doesn’t make any sense considering that the width of X’s plot is not big enough and they need it.
Thoughts?

HIf what they claim is legit, let them file whatever case they want to file and take up defence of adverse possession.
