Neighbors remove our fence and put up signs

[@glennsmith6108]

A fence does not establish a property line. Get a surveyor.

[@_Common_Logic_]

Not in this case... While no one can simply stake a claim to your land by driving a fence post into it, over time a fence post, a shed, etc., can be the reason someone else gets to claim part of your land despite what the survey says. This occurs through a real estate concept called adverse possession. It'll probably piss you off if you look into it, but it's a real thing. This guy's parents had that fence over (what I understand to be) a little bit of the neighbor's land for years and they all ignored or "agreed" on the fence placement. Presumably, younger people bought the adjoining property and despite what the survey says, they are probably S.O.L. when it comes to that fence-line. If it were as simple as a survey, this guy wouldn't have even tried to "compromise" as he knows the original survey shows the tree-house to be on the neighbors land.

[@judiththoren6176]

A fence can establish property lines if left in place. In my state its 16 years.

[@jpmacoo]

Sometimes it can, other times it's just a fence. And it varies by state. In some states, a fence will only become the boundary line if the actual boundary line can't be determined. It sounds more like this guy wants to keep the fence line since the deeded boundary line gives him less land. So, isn't he the one who's trying to take land, not his neighbor? As far as removing the fence, I'd think it would depend on who actually owns the fence. And if it's on his neighbor's land, maybe it belongs to them, so I think that they have every right to remove it if they want.

[@mountainguyed67]

There should be no compromise. Put the boundary where it’s supposed to be, and move on. Then you don’t have to worry about it.

[@rivermcratt3683]

I don't know what is going on in this video cuz he keeps just saying boundary by acquiescence and doesn't explain what the fuck that means. The gist of what I got is his parents his parents and grandparents believed a certain part of the neighbor's property belong to them and the neighbor believes that part of the video posters property belongs to them. It sounds like the neighbor is trying to keep what they thought was theirs while at the same time saying screw your grandparents we're not going to give up our property but we're still going to take yours. Other than that I have no clue what the f is going on in this video

[@dreaminlayers]

@@rivermcratt3683 A Boundary by Aquiescence is when a fence or wall has been up and maintained and accepted by both sides for a long period of time. The neighbors didn't say anything for the last 30+ years while this guy's parents maintained that property and fence line, which means they gave it up.

My property has been surveyed 5 times. First 4 times, different years, property lines came up exactly 4ft from fence. Years ago needed to maintain your fence without going on neighbors land. This year, surveyed again, and lines on same side are now 13/14 feet inside my fence. That neighbor better not take fence down, or there will be dogs and horses loose. So far they haven't tried removing fence. I've told them that fence has been there, along the the huge trees, since property was divided 52 years ago. I've also talked to lawyer. Good luck!

We had a farm that had an irrigation canal run through. We owned a strip of land approximately 20 ft wide on the other side of the irrigation canal.

[@ingabusch2487]

This "boundary by Acquiescence" really means that your relatives had the fence line on the former neighbor's property. I can't sympathize with or condone that.

[@willamclark8992]

Sometimes, "boundary by acquiescence" means the deed wasn't recorded to accurately describe the correct boundaries of a property. Most states had fairly accurate surveyors a couple of hundred years ago. But most people had to make do with materials on hand to lay out their property lines. And if the neighbors ageed and didn't dispute the placement of the fence or markers, that's where boundary by acquiescence came from. If there's no fence and one is built to delineate the boundary without disagreement, that is boundary by acquiescence and binding after the state's statutes time limits despite the description of the deed. Some states actually call that boundary by agreement if both parties took part in the placement of the property markers. There is no time limit required in that case and the property lines then are legally set to the existing markers despite the deed.

[@lolly1405]

This guys trying to steal some of their land, is what it sounds like to me. I have fences all over my land and none of them are on the property line.

@@peterservon5539 Depends on the locale. The survey would indicate where a property line is. A survey doesn't determine ownership. There are many ways that I can establish a right to use or even possess YOUR land. What's not clear here is the extent of any alleged infringement. Did the naughty neighbor trespass in order to remove the fence? Is the dispute over one foot or 10, 15 or 20 feet? I think a court would ultimately have to decide. My opinion: he (the poster) at least has an easement for a use that's stood, undisputed, over time, namely an easement for a fence. The naughty neighbor AT LEAST owes him a payment for the wrecked fence. $3000 plus $400 for court fees. See Rusty the Baliff on your way out.

No place for morality anymore and the idea of a man acting with honor and integrity…doing what’s right just because it’s right is becoming a concept only entertained by the naive or crazy these days. Adverse possession and boundary acquiescence are concepts that originally were drafted into law for situations where there was a mistaken or disputed property line and the encroaching party wasn’t doing so out of malice and had put in substantial time, effort, and money into improving, maintaining, satisfying tax obligations, etc on property that turned out to not be his only for the rewards to be reaped by the other side. This is obviously not the case in this matter…it’s pretty obvious there’s been nothing invested in maintaining or improving that property in dispute. If anything, the trash and junk that’s been left on it for years has diminished the value of the rest of the neighbors property.

We moved to an agricultural residential area in summer 2020. Five acres, new house, in an existing but small development, property corners were marked with stakes. No HOA. No fence. Someone pulled up our corner stakes after we moved in. The house to our east has been here from the beginning (about 10 years). Our property includes a wooded creek bed that is about one acre total area and was never bush hogged and we left it as is for privacy. It is wooded and thick with vegetation (like it always was). The property line runs generally parallel to the neighbor's side of the tree line. Eight months after we closed on the house a new family bought the neighbor's house and there were no issues at first. About six months after they move din they had two contractors walking on their side of the tree line, walking the general line of the property line. They were looking in at our wooded creek bed. Then they walked to the front of our house in the street and looked down the interior line of our trees. I thought they were just getting a fence and making sure they did not violate the property line. A few more months go by and now the neighbors are going into our wooded creek bed with their kids and playing. The married couple also keeps walking by the front of our five acre property from the street and keep looking at our property with their smartphone like they are trying to geolocate known points. The property corners were marked when we bought and when the neighbors bought but they seem to be oblivious to where the property line is or intent on acquiring the creek bed. Google maps and the county map website confirm my view of the property line. We were not going to put up a 500 foot fence line on that side because it might causes us to have to remove some of our precious trees and lose privacy. Considering getting the surveyor out to mark the line but they charge quite a bit and it will only result in about three stakes over 500 feet - and the stakes will likely be pulled up. I am wondering if the neighbors can take this wooded creek bed from us by acquiescence by just visiting it or saying it's their or because we don't do any work in there?

[@dougo6571]

Don’t forget to have it written up in the deed that the fence is 2” off the line so their is no confusion that he can never touch it again. Hope this helps.

[@papabensvlogs2072]

Thanks, I love constructive comments

[@marianlincoln9008]

ACTUALLY when we put our fences up we put them 18" inside OUR PROPERTY LINE. The last land owner neighbor we had was GOING to REMOVE my Honeysuckle vines that I had planted on OUR fence. I told him NO don't touch THAT it's on OUR PROPERTY and he DECIDED to aquiese as it was BETTER than Kissing ME OFF AFTER he had been burning DEPT of the Interiors. And EPA listed No Nos GARBAGE less than 50 Ft. from my house and the fumes were CONSIDERED POSSIBLE carcenagenes and DEFFINATELY classed as toxic air pollutants.... I Don't PLAY THOSE Games...!!!

And the survey says

[@aday1637]

Acquiescence means both parties agree or that you have had use of the land a specified amount of time (usually very long one) and you can prove it. Otherwise such a fight over a strip of land is hardly the best way to go about stealing land.

[@tyronepelfrey8192]

My parents put up a fence that was 6 inches on our side of property then she put one 2 inches close to our fence. We waited till the concrete hardened took her to court and she had to tear down her fence and then she realized she didn’t have enough money to put it back up. She was so pissed. Moral of the story don’t try to keep up with the joneses. Lol

Boundary disputes are a nightmare. You can try to be a good neighbor, but you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. You might have to get a surveyor, which costs even more money.

[@canidconsulting5118]

This happens a lot in the country with border and fences that were in place before accurate surveying. Part of the problem: When the acreage or farms were large, much of it may have appeared vacant. Fences, buildings went up; no one noticed or, at the moment, had any concern especially at the outer edges of their land. Time passed, original boundaries were forgotten, surveyor rods and marks were lost. Then over time, the land would be divided from original large farms or acreage to split amongst children and/or be sold off, whittling away at the lots and parcels, making boundaries and +/- 10, 20, 30 or more feet much more important, particularly to young hipster families looking to gentrify the farmlands with tidy hobby farms. This also contributes to why it seems it's always young going after old. The older folks never thought to question it, the young came with a sense of entitlement to get what they paid for, having been raised in a culture of ownership, regulations, accuracy and precision; metrics, measurements, and hard data being king. A copy of the deed, survey and plat map are furnished at closing, then later compared to actual ground (which was presumably ample enough and acceptable when the property was viewed and purchased). The new owners compare the maps or pull up google and ....."Hey! Wait a minute..." So it begins. Then the hipsters get mad and get lawyers and almost invariably would lose to encroachment or acquiescence. Interesting side bar: In one lakefront area, the usage and building had slipped and slid for so long, with the lots becoming postage stamps, you had to agree with the disclosure that the property lines were "as customary and satisfactory to all parties." Words to that effect, and that you wouldn't sue for land dispute. The survey looked like a jigsaw puzzle, no two surveys agreed, and there were property lines through the middle of houses. Believe it or not, it was part of the charm.

I am going through the same issue. We went as far as getting the survey and the neighbor pulled up the wooden stakes!! No help from City nor police

[@bradleypeel6057]

It depends on state law, some states go by how long a fence has been in place. Some states go strictly by surveyors reports.

[@garywilkerson6228]

Your grandparents built a tree house on someone's house - period. That man does not have to compromise for your parents convience. Boundary by aquessence is subordinate to a land survey. Boundary by aquessence is only enforced by a sitting JUDGE, not your lawyer. You want the dispute to be resolved by boundary by aquessence, then your parents must partition the court. In the meantime, if the survey shows it's his property, then until a judge determined other wise, it's his land.

[@soniarankin81]

I don’t know how old this video is but my mom had the same problem we got a survey he marked our the land my mother built her fence the neighbors even rang The surveyor and told them that they were wrong that my mother had to leave 3 feet from the fence of her property The surveyor guy in the city Told him that was crap so they were left with a 3 feet margin in the middle all because of the meanness and stupidity .Once you have it documented by a surveyor ino one can touch the fence after that you can prosecute them.You need to know your legal rights with the property before you get into this war .

[@fuzion430journey3]

[@doramather4729]

We had the same thing happen to us, we had a fence issue, we had a survey done to prove that the fence line was correct. It took two years to get it settled because they wanted to remove the front fence which he paid for half of the materials 15 years ago. We went to court and had a court mediator who said the front fence stays no removal of it and the back chain link fence which we put up after we informed them that their fence they put up was on our property stays because our survey was registered with the county and it was correct. We did pay $1,000.00 for the middle fence they had put up by her boyfriend and we remove and put up the chain link fence. We had a meeting on the property with them and their lawyer and us and our lawyer where we agreed that the middle fence was straighten and remain in the original spot and they could attach their wooden fence to our chain link fence. We could paint our side of the fence and that the matter was settled, our neighbor got 3 different lawyers and we only use one lawyer. It cost us at 12 thousand dollars in legal fees for the battle with the property issue. Every letter cost us money, they sued us and took us to court and the property issued was finally settled once and for all. The one thing we did that made a difference and settle the issue was the property survey and made sure it was registered with county, so if he got another survey went back to our survey the law of the land. The couple next door are young and in their late 20s and we are retired older people that bought our property in 1984. My husband kept his cool and did not speak to the them, because they were unreasonable and boyfriend was a hot head and kept saying I going to take the chain link Down . Take pictures of all the damage and removal of your frence. Look at your title description of the property and remember that fence issues are considered a pain and suffering and not paid $$$$$$. Good luck it was a stressful situation. If you need a survey have them pay for it for us we paid for it because we took down their wood fence that was on our property and we want to prove our property line. We were right and In the end we settle so did not have to go to court, we settle and was recorded with the mediator . ng

Even when retaining an attorney, get the applicable municipal code and, if possible, any key case-law FROM the attorney. Even if "boundary by acquiescence" exists it would have limits. If disputing a few inches only, heard mention of a "doctrine of substantial compliance" which may be applicable.

[@josephheins325]

This is called "adverse possession" and can be retitled said land to your name.

[@dancingcloudlew4311]

I had to hire a surveyor, the dispute was settled. Older property owners didn't place fences exactly on the line to avoid such issues. I did just that, but the neighbor insisted I had some of his land.

[@jeanettedegarmo9722]

[@cynthiaayers7696]

In some counties they have a "Grandfather Clause", and if you don't start complaining about the property lines from the get-go, then it will maybe, from that point on, after a while, be the new line of that property. But if the property line is like way whacked out of kilter, then I can see the point in a total re-surveying.

[@Blackwater_House]

To establish boundary by acquiescence, four elements must be met: 1) a person must occupy the land of a neighboring property owner 2) up to a visible line marked by fences, buildings, or other “monuments” (i.e. a boundary line) 3) in such a manner that evidences that the two property owners acquiesced to that new boundary line 4) for a period of twenty years. Stated perhaps more simply, a person must physically establish a new property line for a period of 20 years without any protest from his neighbor.

[@AZCobraman]

Neighbors down the street have the same issue. Neither are the original homes owners and a small wall was built off the line by a few feet. They had it surveyed to straighten it out...but since neither are assholes they aren't worried about 'fixing' it.

[@nancyharmon7999]

Get a survey done and take them to court. I have the same problem with my neighbor and she always rents that house to people that do drugs. I had a wind storm and the wood fence blew over the 6 feet high fence and the posts broke. The fence was 1” on my property and the renters yelled at me that the woman that owns the rental house is going to sue me and I said every renter has destroyed my fence and I am not going to replace it. So the tension is high. I had to show them that I paid for the fence and if they wanted a 6’ high fence the woman that owns it is going to have to pay for it and put the fence on her property. I hired an attorney and I had it surveyed. The lady that owns the rental house is not going to put up a fence as she never fixes anything. So the posts are still up and the renters purchased bamboo fence and I said you make sure that you stay off my property and keep your kids off my property and I have had to put up huge No Trespassing sign and Beware of dog and I put up huge video cameras to see if they trespass. Camera video is important because then you have evidence. So far I have put wire fence on my side and renters put up bamboo fence and I carry my phone camera every time I go outside and I told the 2 men that if they come on my property or touch my wire fence that is trespassing and I have made it clear that I will defend my property I have a 357 with laser and I told them I am active military and I will shoot to kill. I also called the police so that they are aware of the situation and I have the right to “the make my day law” and I am a well trained sniper. I am 62 years old woman and still active military and I get up on my roof to clean my gutters and I watch them cower down and they stay in the house. This has been an ongoing issue for 17 years. Get a survey Get a 357 with laser Get video camera The camera makes them stay in the house. So far the owner every year has different renters makes them sign a 1 year lease and it is the same thing over and over again. Having the video and written survey and a lawyer is important. They are 2 men and I can yell at them you are on camera they don’t cuss me out anymore and I say stupid fucking idiots if you were a man you would have helped me put up the fence like a good person. They are so intimidated by my open carry gun and I will use it. The police have been notified that I shoot to kill. As the saying goes “Shoot to kill, dead men can’t talk” I am military and I had to over come them yelling f words and I tell them you are not even a man if you can’t even hold a piece of wood while I screw the fence post in. I live by stupid ass fucked up yuppies. That think they can scare a woman. I call them idiots and they are not men they are nothing. Good luck with your fence.

[@ninja1antelope]

Adverse possession….. if you “think” and have treated said land as yours “maintenance” exceeding so many years (~18). As possession is 9/10ths of the law. Ironically, I’ve had my property aggression 3x. All 3 times were by OLDER neighbors, (white males) boomer or older. I also tried to be nice but they thought they deserved my property more than I. They didn’t want to pay or have an easement. Identical reasons for the 3 separate attempts to take my land. The court sided with me in all 3 cases.

[@davidlabrenz7230]

A survey by a licensed surveyer should solve the dispute both sides should abide by the legal discription and realize that an improper placement of a fence in the past may not be in accordance with the legal discription

[@papabensvlogs2072]

Tis true... It was resolved in an episode further down the play list

[@dougo6571]

I am a fencer in the state of Kansas. When a fence line has been up and it is common knowledge that the fence is perceived to be the boundary, then after 15 years of the being the cace then it becomes official and the old property line is discontinued permanently. With that said the fence is the new property line meaning half the fence is on their side too. In the state of Kansas the person who did not put up the fence has the same right to tear down the fence as the person who put up the fence had to put the fence there in the first place. So the tearing down of the fence is legal. Trying to reestablish the old property line is not. The cease and desist was only a verbal and did not come from the courts therefore the tearing down of the fence is still legal.

[@papabensvlogs2072]

True.... But it did get the actual land owners talking... And a beautiful compromise came from it

Should have a property inspector come out and see where the property line is that way it is documented, our neighbors talked with us before they put up there fence an we had no issues we were just being helpful for both sides it’s common sense but then again some neighbors can just b asshats
