What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? INDIANA
STATE: INDIANA
Neighbor A ( Me 3 years ago)
Neighbor B ( 1.5 years)
The homes in question have been here +10 years
Neighbor A purchased a home 3 years ago. The home was built 10 years ago. The home has a sprinkler system installed. On the north side of the property the assumed property line is grass with in ground sprinkler system. Neighbor B property has pine trees and mulch starting where the grass ends there.
Neighbor A need to put up a privacy fence and had that property line surveyed. At the front of the property the grass/mulch line holds true. About 1/2 way back there starts a seperation of the grass/mulch by inches to the end with a 3ft difference.
Question: Since this grass/mulch has been used as the boundary line as well as the installed in ground sprinkler system is in place can this difference be adverse possesion?
Question: If adverse possesion can't be used what about a Prescriptive easement issue?
Also, on this property line issue there is a drainage, pedestrian easement. both A & B was dumbfounded to find a pedestrian easement between their homes. This easement leads into a rough wooded area.
Question: Since the pedestrain easement is in place 10' on each of side of the property line can either home owner put a fence up or rope fence?
Thank you for your answers
