Fences and Neighbors

“Good Fences make Good neighbors” is so true. There may be a time where you question if whether your neighbor’s fence has gone over your property.

First of all, make certain by obtaining a survey. Once you obtain the survey and are certain that your neighbor has over stepped themselves, contact and notify your neighbor and confirm it in writing what you believe has happened. Removal may be a solution.

If a friendly solution can not be reached, an ejectment may be filed. The court, however, will weigh the costs involved if removal is the solution. If the cost for removing the fence is greater than the benefit of removal, the court may not order your neighbor to move it.
