Default Fences and Lot Lines

I need an answer but don't know where to look on the internet.
Has anyone got any ideas about this?

There is about 800 feet of fence between us and a neighbor.
The neighbor recently put up a new fence. When ever a tree had
grown up on the lot line he put the fence on our side thus
putting the trees on his side of the fence. In most cases this
meant a foot or more of our property on his side of the fence.

I believe the law used to say if the fence remained there for
20 years, the land on his side was the neighbors.

This means that the neighbor took aboutg 800 square feet of
land. That/'s a lot of land. Does anyone know where I can
find out what we can do about this.


You will probably need to have a survey done and then talk to the
neighbor about it.
