Assuming your real question is are you obligated to pay it, here's the statute:

RCW 16.60.020
Partition fence—Reimbursement.

When any fence has been, or shall hereafter be, erected by any person on the boundary line of his or her land and the person owning land adjoining thereto shall make, or cause to be made, an inclosure, so that such fence may also answer the purpose of inclosing his or her ground, he or she shall pay the owner of such fence already erected one-half of the value of so much thereof as serves for a partition fence between them: PROVIDED, That in case such fence has woven wire or other material known as hog fencing, then the adjoining owner shall not be required to pay the extra cost of such hog fencing over and above the cost of erecting a lawful fence, as by law defined, unless such adjoining owner has his or her land fenced with hog fencing and uses the partition fence to make a hog enclosure of his or her land, then he or she shall pay to the one who owns said hog fence one-half of the value thereof.

Seems to me that you would not have to pay if the fence just completed an enclosure around his own property but you would have to pay if the fence also completed an enclosure around your property.

Though the reference to "partner" and "shared property" may change my comment if you would care to explain that.

The language of the statute suggests that it is very old. You might want to talk to a lawyer and see if case decisions have changed the interpretation.

The word is "fence", not "fench".

Either you can discuss this with your partner, or you can unload your share of the property. The latter seems more and more economical, given your other thread.

If the sale is final, it is no longer your problem if the guy is a bad guy.

Sale final real estate agreement signed states so .buyer of my intrest has no issues on sale it's my former partner says I sold to real bad guy. there is no user's agreement or terms I can see nothing preventing me from transfer. Because he has assault case penting against my buyer that s his problem? I believe so aswell.
