Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

dispute over property line after 30 years

I am a Realtor with a client who has just signed an agreement of sale on his home. The day after the under contract sign went up, I got a call from his next door neighbor claiming my client's hedge was on his property. He wants my client to pay for a survey. Since the neighbor is the one disputing the property line, shouldn't he have to pay for the survey. Also, both parties have lived next door to each other for almost 30 years, and the hedge has been there the entire time. If the hedge is on the neighbor's property (we're only talking about inches here) doesn't it fall under adverse possesion or squatter's rights? Thanks!

Re: dispute over property line after 30 years

It would seem to be covered by adverse possession. What does the seller's lawyer say?
