Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

I just found out that my fence around my house is not on the property line AT ALL. The house was built in 1993 and we bought the house from the original owners in 2005. We did not see any PLAT that would have told us the fence that was there when we bought it was messed up. We just had a survey done because we want to put in a shed and an in ground pool. The right side fence is 5 ft into my neighbors yard. The back fence is 8 ft into an easement area. The left side is 3 ft short of the end of my property. In fact, the left side front, my property is past my neighbors mailbox! Crazy...What do I do!

Contact the title insurer whose services you

presumably secured when you purchased this property back in 2005.
