A registered surveyor can move a surveyed property line if they determine the original survey was incorrect. No other person has the authority to move a surveyed property line. That would be done by any other individual for self-serving reasons only. Property lines set by a licensed surveyor have the protection of the law. If a dispute arises the owner in dispute can hire their own surveyor, the respective owners can execute a property line agreement or they can take the issue to court and let a judge decide.

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 you claim your property that is past the property line or do you lose it?
The property line defines the property, so it can't be 'past' the defining limit. You need to make sure you know where your property line is and make sure you take care of it. If you have taken property that is beyond your deeded or surveyed property line by following the necessary requirements for adverse possession, then you will need to protect your property rights from others taking it back from you, just as with any other real estate. Your local jurisdiction will have procedures for filing papers in court that will "quiet title" on the newly established property line, so you will have a "deed" with a legal description that includes the additional property you have taken.
