Re: property line-florida
If the property has had a fence on it for that long, it may not be your property any more because of a thing called adverse possession, which essentially means that if someone squats on your land with a fence, they own it. There are some other requirements, though, before a squatter can take your land, so you should see a real estate lawyer right away.
If he's wrong, you can force him to move the fence off your land.
