City Hall or whatever it is you may have in England that deaLS WITH PRIVATE PROPERTY ISSUES. Have the property assesment and get a map of your land from the dept. that handles these things. The fence is leaning on your property, but is not planted on yours, rather your neighbors. I assume you are asking on the internet because you don't see eye to eye with your neighbors about this encraochment ? They have to tear down the fence, of fix it so it doesn't go ontop your property. At their expense. remember the episode in the Flinstones cartoon about Barney Rubble planting half of his pool on Freds yard. Destroyed a friendship. This is a real problem I know , but to ease you anxiety about it, I have to tell you it is what some of the best comedies are made of.Good luck with your neighbor and I hope they co-operate with you .There is a lot to be said for neighbors and civility.Property lines in Canada are a constant source of violence beacuse Natives are up on treaties and know we are finding out we have built entire towns on Indian Land. Lots of Shoot-outs with Government police .Sorry. Just re-read your article. Their fence is planted on your property and yopu are without doubt absolutely sure of this? Send them a registered letter telling them the fence is on your property and would they plaese remove it, or you will have to on your own and they will have to pay the bill for your labor. Take care-t

If you want a simple solution, just build your fence 3 in. into your yd, pushing his toward his property. He can worry about his, and you will have yours. Pre-paint the side toward him, as painting may be difficult after the fence is up. On the question of property lines, once you have a piece of property surveyed, it is difficult to take it by adverse possession. However, if the property has not been surveyed, the property line may well consist of the fence line.

If the fence has been there long enough to be falling then you are screwed.It was suppose to be 6 inches off the line but,since it was allowed to stand on your property for so long then that is NOW HIS.I'm sure he'll gladly allow you to replace it but,it has to go where it was.

find the original surveyor stakes in your yard...that may take some time. If the fence is on your property, tear it down and build away. If not, then you have some issues. If you cannot find the stakes, use a metal detector. If there are no stakes, you will have to pay a surveyor to come in a place the stakes. Good luck

If it's on your property, you can do whatever you want to it (take it down, etc.). BUT, be prepared to know where your property line is (you might want to get a property assessor in there to do a thorough inspection) because your neighbors will probably fight with you about it.

check with your local laws in KS. and Mo. if a permanent structure is placed and left for any time the person who erected the structure gains that property. If this is the same for you then sorry get it reshot and have it listed on you title to reduce your taxes. Good Luck
