Re: boundrys
IF your neighbor has put a fence on your property you should ask him to move it. I would however be sure that the fence is on your property, so I would get a survey of the property line at that point.
You could also grant him permission to leave the fence their but have a written agreement in recordable form and record it so your property 20 years from now is not lost by adverse possession.
This type of matter can become very difficult socially and expensive legally. Please feel free to call me if you have additional questions.
