No.

There is no rule that says that you must place a fence on a property line. However, if the person does something, like build or take measures to control this property, there could be a problem later.

If you have any questions, contact me.

No, it is still your land unless neighbor gains rights by adverse possession. Retain an attorney if you still have questions! Good Luck!
