13 years ago an easement was given to my neighbor for 5 feet, running front to back between our properties (117ft) for a "garden, a pathway, and a fence". our backyard fence was moved to accomodate it. Since he moved in (11 years) the neighbor has done nothing with the property. There's no garden, pathway or fence, just overgrown grass/weeds. We have maintained part of the easement because it is in our sideyard and it looked awful. Recently, the neighbor's freind had an easement survey. The surveyor staked the front corner of the easement and the back corner behind the fence. I put up a cyclone fence along the sideyard. Today the freind came out and told me that the fence is over the property line and that the concrete poured to set posts should be inside of the line and I have to move the fence.
Even if it is true I don't have the energy to move it (I dug these holes by hand while he stood there. ) What can I do and what can they do and what should I do?
