According to the county GIS website, a small corner of my neighbor's building is on my side of the line. Now he just cleared some trees and put down a gravel pad to build another new building and it looks like it's even a little more on my side of the line, just by eyeballing it. I cannot find the corner marker and I suppose one of us would have to pay to find the survey marker and determine where the actual line is. I know the GIS lines are not perfect we would have to get a surveyor to know for sure. But I would like to do something before he builds the building and I want to know my options before I go talk to him. Any suggestions? GIS = Get it Surveyed

An EASEMENT would probably fix it. there's only a dozen types, too. should it come down to it i might approach neighbor like this...face to face. hello, it appears your fence is over the boundary, according to the survey, and the last thing i want, is for you to have to move your fencing. What do you propose? then, tell him you want to think it over, and will get back to him....AFTER consulting the lawyer i mentioned above. Attorneys can help determine ownership. Surveyors can help show on the ground where boundary lines are.

OH did I mention that a little EtOH was in the system, so you had to know how long they had been out and what ratios were still available to effect the hand writing.

As I stated I didn't have it surveyed my uncle did. This fence line has been there before I was born never questioned it not really worried about it. As far ask what his deeds says I have no idea I haven't even talked to the neighbor about it, because I'm not that worried. When and if I do think it is that serious I will call a lawyer. Why I'm asking questions to see if it can become problem. I'll never sell my part of the family farm and the neighbor won't sell his, but when his kids take over after he is gone they will in a heartbeat.

Keeping in mind that it has been stated that the property wasn't surveyed at the time of the original conveyance. formerly posting as white dog
