Boundary disputes that cannot be resolved by discussion between the parties can be resolved with an action in either the land court or superior court. If the boundary is established via a survey and finding of the court, your neighbor may still claim that they have gained ownership by 'adverse possession'... meaning that they have had the land enclosed and used it exclusively for at least twenty years.
Our office would be happy to review your matter with you; boundary cases are extremely fact specific.
