It depends on whose trees they are, when they were planted, and what purpose they serve.
For example, if they were planted long ago and serve to mark the boundary line (with blazes or as described in deeds), then they cannot be removed without mutual consent of the adjacent owners, and in accordance with local laws that relate to surveying and boundary markings.
If they are not your trees, and they are not creating any imminent risk of injury or damage, you'd be foolish to remove them without permission of the owner. Your local state laws may determine who has what rights to maintain the trees, whether you are considered "co-owners", and how the liability and costs are to be divided among you.

How close to a property line can one plant a tree?

What a tree line?
A tree line is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. A tree line is different from a timberline. A timberline, often called a forest line, is the line where trees form a forest with a closed canopy.
Who owns a tree if it is in center of property line?
Usually, people who ask this question really want the answer to a different question -- can I trim a tree that encroaches into my land, can my neighbor cut down a tree that is on our mutual property line, can I take down a tree on my neighbor's land that poses a risk to my house? I point this out not to sound like a jerk, but only because the legal answer to "who owns the tree" doesn't usually answer the (real, underlying) question. Where a person plants a tree on his/her property that grows into a neighbor's property, the tree still "belongs to" the person who planted it. When nobody knows who planted a tree, the tree usually (that is, in most states) "belongs to" the neighbor on whose property most of the tree is now located. However, whenever a tree crosses property lines, whether it is the roots or the branches or the trunk that cross the line, the person on each side of the line can pretty much do whatever he/she wants to the tree on his/her side. Think of your property line as a geometric plane that extends up into the sky and down into the ground. If you don't like the branches on your side of the plane, you can cut them, no matter who "owns" the tree. If you don't like the roots on your side of the plane, you can grind them up. As a practical matter, this rule means that whenever one neighbor wants a boundary tree taken down, it will be coming down, because even if the tree-loving neighbor does not agree to have the work done (which is important - it means that most arborists will not agree to do the work), the tree-hating neighbor can still do enough violence to the tree on his/her side of the line that the tree will soon die and need to be removed. If you're in Massachusetts and have a boundary or other real estate question, call the Law Office of David R. Baron in Boston.

How far from the property line trees should be planted will vary from place to place. To determine the rules in your area call your local zoning board. You should also check with your HOA. They often have rules about tree placement as well.
Can planting be placed right next to a neighbors fence?
If the plants are on your property they may be planted along your neighbors fence. However, climbing plants that will grow over the fence cannot be planted along your neighbors fence. Caveat: Make sure your neighbor has not installed the fence "inside" their property line so it lies a short distance FROM the property line. That is the practice in some areas and is required by the city ordinances in some areas. In that case, the land along the fence would belong to your neighbor. You need to determine where the property line is located and not assume the fence is on the property line.

You generally have the right to trim branches that hang over your property line, as long as it doesn't harm the health of the tree.

Additionally, it's always a good idea to communicate with your neighbor before doing any trimming to maintain a positive relationship.

Can a neighbor refuse to allow their existing fence to be joined by a new one on the adjacent property?
Yes, they can refuse. The fence is their property, so you must have permission to join their fence to yours. If not, you can build to the edge of your property line, leaving a gap between the two. You can have your property surveyed to determine your exact property line, and if their fence is on the line you can connect at those points only. You can also make them remove the fence if it's on your property.
How high are trees allowed on neighbors boundaries?
You might want to check your local ordinances (laws). I am pretty sure that a tree that is planted in your neighbor's yard and overhangs into your yard can be trimmed back to the property line. It probably won't make your neighbor happy if it kills the tree though. Just be sure to check the local laws in regard to this beforehand.
