Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

Re: Property line

Discuss with them the correct property line, and request they move the fence to the line. Avoid a larger neighbor dispute, which usually do not turn out well.

Re: Property line

The situation depends to some extent on your relationship with the neighbor and whether the fence was erected on your property by accident. In any event, if your neighbor is not willing to relocate the fence off of your property, you need to seek legal assistance, unless your property ownership is not important to you. Call me in the event that you want to know what this entails.

Re: Property line

I will add that merely having a fence over your property line does not divest you of ownership of the property. That would not be an issue for a long, long time (many years), if ever. It is certainly not an issue when both parties agree where the line is. The best solution, by far, is to resolve the situation without involving lawyers. You can get a long way with a conversation, and the first letter from a lawyer changes the tone very quickly.
