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 you screw things into your neighbors fence?
As long as the fence is on your property, no.
Do I have legal right to trim a tree over my fence line?
Depends if the fence line IS the property division line, in which case both homeowners have to agree about the trimming. If whatever needs trimming is solely on your property you are allowed to do whatever it is you need to do, providing any homeowner association (if they exist) has rules for this.

Can you claim your property that is past the fence line if there is a sixty year old fence?
Yes, especially if the neighbor knows where the property line is and they haven't been using it for any purpose for a long time without you complaining about it. You should mark the location of the property line as soon as possible. If your neighbor tries to claim the land then you need to consult with an attorney who specializes in property law.Yes, especially if the neighbor knows where the property line is and they haven't been using it for any purpose for a long time without you complaining about it.

Land owner next to you intentionally put a fence up 12 inches over your property line before you bought your land and will not pay to move it to the property line or go half on it. What to do?
It is a trespass and if it is not removed upon your request, you can have a court order it to be removed. If you ignore this long enough, the neighbor may eventually be able to claim the property line has moved to the fence, and you will lose valuable land rights. On the other hand, you can also provide the neighbor with a "limited license" to use that strip of your property, and propose that he pay some nominal rent until such time as the fence is removed or other mutual agreement is made. That way the fence is no longer evidence of "hostile exclusion" which would be necessary for adverse possession.
What can legally be done regarding a neighbor's damaged fence exceeding their property lines?
As long as adverse possession has not occurred (see below link), then you can demand that the fence be moved to the proper boundary line. If the neighbor is uncooperative, see a real estate attorney in your area.
Is your neighbor allowed to build a concrete wall which will kill the roots of your tree?
If the concrete wall, fence or other structure is clearly on his side of the property line, the neighbor can do just about anything he wants. It's his property, and as long as the structure does not encroach onto your property, there isn't thing one you can do about it.
How can you remove a neighbor's fence that you believe is on your property?
Mark the property line with wooden stakes with red ribbons at the top and take some photos that show the fence encroaching over the property line. Notify the neighbor in a polite and friendly letter sent by certified mail, enclose a photo and make certain you keep a copy and the green card. Ask them nicely to remove the fence. Remember that the letter may be used later in court as evidence so make yourself look good by being polite, explaining the problem clearly and that you are requesting they move the fence off your property. Give them a definite time period to remove the fence, say . . . 30 days. If that doesn't work you will need to have them notified by an attorney. If that doesn't work you will need to bring the matter to court and obtain a court order. You should do this ASAP before they gain any rights.

Are all cattle smart?
Not by a long shot - I have personally observed a mature Holstein bull get stuck in a corner created by a long fence (about 50 feet) and about six inches of fence. The ten-foot long gate that was standing wide open was next to the six inch fence section. And yet, the bull was stuck - he couldn't go forward and he couldn't turn left. After about three tries, the bull walked out of the open gate.
