What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
My neighbor is trying to build a fence around his property. Problem is that he has never had a survey done to discover where his property lines actually are. My property however, has been surveyed. The survey of my property shows that I actually own not only where he is trying to put the fence but also part of his driveway. Unfortunately, when his driveway was paved over, so was the brass marker. My neighbor argues that the line is instead marked by two old rotting fence posts in the back yard. I told him I would call the sheriff if he did not stop. I put up no trespassing signs and insisted that he get his own survey before continuing. He got a surveyor to come out. When I asked the surveyor about it, he said my neighbor had told him, "My neighbor and I are rebuilding the old fence," and just asked him to make a line forward from the old fence posts. Now that he had a "survey" he is continuing work on the fence. What can I do? Making him get his own survey was my best idea but he didn't actually get one. What is my next step?
