Re: encroachment
You should notify your neighbor immediately about the fact that his fence is on your land. Depending on how long the fence has been there, he may have a valid claim that the property line has moved to where the fence is now located. Also, if you thre are any surveyor's monuments, such as a cement marker, marking the boundaries of the lots, then those may be very important in figuring out where the property line is if a lawsuit is filed to determine the property line. We would be happy to speak with you about the situation.
