Does a 100 year fence make a property line?

When does a fence become a property lot line?
If the fence is on the legal, surveyed property line, then the line is official immediately.If the fence is not on the legal, surveyed property line, your state's doctrine of mutual acquiescence will determine if and when the fence will become the line. A real estate attorney in your area will be able to tell if you have a legitimate mutual acquiescence claim.

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.
If there is a long standing fence on the property line do you have to move it?
Maybe. The fence may be covered under adverse possession laws. While these laws vary from state to state, they generally provide that a fence that has been standing for x number of years becomes the property line, even if it is not the surveyed boundary line. Contact an attorney in your area for details.
Can a fence become the property line after 7 years?

If you put up a fence on your property does the neighbor on the other side of the fence have the right to paint attach to or alter your fence?
Find your exact property line..... then come on your side of it just a few inches and then the entire fence is on your property as opposed to building right on the property line where it would be on both properties.
If you put up a fence and leave it 8 inches from the property line does that 8 inches now belong to your neighbor?
no it still belongs to you. the fence just has to placed on your side of the line that's all. same for any fence your neighbor wants to build. the property line is still the property line
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.
