Our neighbor dug up a surveyed property corner and put a 12 foot tall tree in its place. We did not pay for the survey. We did not give approval of this action and have plans of putting a fence on that property line. Is it legal to remove a property corner? Is it legal to plant a tree on the property line/corner without permission of adjacent property owner?

Maybe its just me but I can't understand if she has planted this tree on her land or yours. Does it actually cross over your property line? If not is it close enough that as it grows it would make it impossible for you to use your land as you wish.

**A: if any part of the tree is on your property, you have rights to demand removal of the encroachment.
