We live in California.
We have lived in this house for 20 years. The house is 50 years old and has had the same fence-line, put in by the orginal developer. We replaced the fence 12 years ago, in the same position, splitting the expense with our neighbor. That neighbor is now selling a portion of his property to the neighbor on the other side of him. In doing so they had a survey done.
It turns out all the fence-lines (compared to property lines) are wrong on our street. Effecting 5 houses. Now our neighbor wants to move the fence-line 4 feet into our yard, on to the newly survey property line. He tells us we should do the same to our other neighbors, and so on dowm the street. With 20 years of landscaping, etc., this seems crazy. We have no intension of causing our other neighbor such grief. Do we have any recourse after all this time?
