Re: land dispute
I agree with John, that both your title company and surveyor should be contacted. I had a similar problem a few years ago, and it turned out that the original survey was incorrect. The title company and the surveyor then had to pay to relocate the fence.
Re: land dispute
Contact your title insurance company and your surveyor. They should make a good start on the problem and that is why you paid them in the first place.
If you still have a problem or if anyone wants you to sign any agreements, contact a lawyer.
