Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Arizona

Fences

We moved into our home in 1968 & had a chain link fence installed in the front yard soon afterwards-it had to be put within the property lines because the neighbor had a wall there. Now,our new neighbor is claiming our fence is on his property & wants to go out & take it down.

Isn't this come under a grandfather claus or something?
