Alright. Based on the documentation you provided, particularly the original property deeds and surveys, your claim seems to have some strong points. However, we also need to consider any adverse possession claims they might try to make. That's a potential weakness.
English
好的。根据您提供的文件，特别是原始地契和测量图，您的主张似乎有一些强有力的依据。然而，我们还需要考虑他们可能提出的任何逆权占有主张。那是一个潜在的弱点。

In simple terms, it's a legal principle where someone can claim ownership of land if they've occupied it openly, continuously, and without permission for a certain period. Given your neighbor's long tenure, it's a risk we'd need to mitigate. Our strategies could range from mediation to filing a quiet title action. Each has different costs and timelines.
English
简单来说，这是一种法律原则，如果有人在一定时期内公开、持续且未经允许地占用了土地，他们就可以声称拥有土地所有权。考虑到您邻居的长期占有，这是我们需要减轻的一个风险。我们的策略可能包括调解或提起确权诉讼。每种策略都有不同的成本和时间线。

Mediation sounds less confrontational, but if it doesn't work, what are the chances of success with a quiet title action? And what kind of costs are we talking about?
English
调解听起来不那么对抗性，但如果不起作用，提起确权诉讼的成功几率有多大？我们谈论的是什么样的成本？
中文翻译

第 8 轮
With the documents you have, a quiet title action has a reasonable chance, but there are no guarantees. Litigation is inherently uncertain. Initial estimates for a quiet title action, excluding appeals, could range from five to ten thousand dollars, depending on how vigorously it's contested. For mediation, it would be considerably less, typically a few thousand.
English
有了您现有的文件，确权诉讼成功的可能性很大，但不能保证。诉讼本身就具有不确定性。确权诉讼的初步估算，不包括上诉，可能在五千到一万美元之间，具体取决于争议的激烈程度。调解的费用会低得多，通常几千美元。

You're most welcome, Ms. Chen. I recommend we start with a formal letter to your neighbor outlining your position, and perhaps suggest mediation. We can then reassess based on their response. How does that sound?
English
别客气，陈女士。我建议我们先给您的邻居发一封正式信函，阐明您的立场，并可能建议调解。然后我们可以根据他们的回应重新评估。您觉得怎么样？
