Not necessarily. The boundaries should be described in the deeds to the abutting properties. They may be shown on recorded surveys and on assessor's maps. Fences are not always installed on property lines.

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.

Who is responsible for which side of the property boundary fence?

In the UK there is no specific law or rule governing which boundary fence one is responsible for maintaining, unless it is specifically marked with a "T" on the land registry plans. The next course is which neighbour has been maintaining which fence which is a resolution but not a legality, although the duration over which this line has been established can be a strong determining factor in boundary disputes. It seems that, without a definite diktat within the deeds, both neighbours are equally responsible for the boundary. It is in both parties interests therefore to maintain cordial relations as to how this is achieved, equally it is important to maintain a distinct delineation in accordance with the deed plans as the latter are not typically detailed enough and it is the physical presence of a recognised line, and its period of recorded existence that will be a deciding factor in any dispute.


If a fence has been in the same place for 21 years does that fence have to be moved because a neighbor had the ajoining land surveyed and the fence and the survey does't match?

If the fence has been in place for 21 years, it may fall under adverse possession laws, meaning the neighbor may not be able to force its removal. It is advisable to consult a real estate attorney to understand your legal rights and options in this situation.


When purchasing land and someone has put a fence across part of it can you have them move the fence?

It depends upon where the fence is, who put it up, why it was put up, why it was put where it is, whether the previous owners had any agreement with the neighbors, who has been paying the taxes on the land on the other side, and how long the fence has been there, among other things.In many places, putting up a fence becomes the newly defined boundary line, so you would no longer own anything on the other side of the fence if you failed to have it removed in a timely manner. It's called adverse possession.If nothing was done in time, then the neighbor "owns" the land on the other side of the fence, regardless of what your deed may say.Interestingly, even if they remove the fence after it has been there long enough to give the neighbor vested rights, you still don't get the ownership of that land back, and you may need a quitclaim deed from the neighbor. Good luck with that.


Can a neighbor remove our wire fence to put up a new cedar privacy fence even though our fence has been there over thirty years and even if the survey says our fence is 8 inches into their property?

Absolutely not! The property line is where the fence is due to the legal doctrines of adverse possession and mutual acquiescence. You need to see a real estate attorney in your area ASAP to prevent the fence from being removed and to assert your rights. Even if the fence has been removed, you can likely still get justice. The link below will give you a basic understanding of adverse possession, which will be supplemented by the advise of your attorney.
