What is the name of your state?
Wisconsin
Parkland adjacent to our home was recently purchased from Milwaukee County. The new owner is building a house there. He claims a registered survey he had done indicates that his propery line extends right up to our house. Our house was built in 1924; we purchased it in 1994 and for at least 30 years the fence line has been fifteen feet from the house. We have several questions: Do we have any "squatter's rights" here? Can the survey be proven wrong? If so, how? If the survey cannot be contested can he build the fence he wants to build literally an inch from our house?
