What is the name of your state? Washington
Our neighbors had to do a survey because they were adding an addition on to their house and this survey showed their property line is 3 feet on our side of a fence that has been there since before we bought our property 25 years ago. We thought adverse possession would make our fence the legal property line after all these years, but they claim since there was no record of previous surveys, their current survey takes precedent and they can take down our fence and put a new fence where the survey says.
This is about 1/3 of our back property line so there will be a jog in the fence. It will look weird and we don't think they should be able to do this after all these years. They say they are doing this in 4 days. What should we do?
