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.
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.

Do you have a claim to your neighbors property since his fence is located 15in into his yard and he has just brought it to your attention after 4 years?
You have no reason for making a claim on your neighbours property firstly because you have said that his fence is 15 inches into his own yard but if you have had your fence up against his then this would mean that your fence is on his property and he can ask you to move your fence back by 15 inches as the land is his and not yours though again it would depend whos yard the fence posts are in because if your fence posts are also on his 15 inches of land then the fence is lawfully his too and not yours and the same goes for him if his fence posts are on your property then lawfully the fence is yours as the ownership of whos fence all lies down to where the fence posts are and not the actual fencing part of it.

Can you put up a fence with permission then land sold and i want to move it can i?
If you "put up" the fence, one might presume that you purchased the materials and provided the labor, making it "your" fence, even though it may be located on land owned by someone else. Under this theory you did not "give" them the fence; rather they "permitted" you to occupy part of their property with your fence. The fence did not get sold with the property, as it was not theirs to sell. You may reclaim your fence by asking permission to enter the property and remove your personal property; the fence. If the new owners do not permit you access, you can obtain permission from the court to enter the property to remove your fence, or obtain an order for the landowner to remove you fence and return it to you at your cost. It would help to have an affidavit from the previous owner that states it is your fence. If the previous owner disagrees, or the new owner claims the fence is now his, then you can sue the previous owner and new owner, jointly and severally, for the value of your fence that they have "converted" to their own personal use, or sue in replevin to obtain the return of your property. This will be a fine welcome to the neighborhood for the new owners!
