Default Fences and Lot Lines

yeah? tell my mother that after 5,000 bucks in lawyers fees when the neighbors sued
for adverse possession and it went to trial and was not instantly thrown out. they
claimed THEY, AND THE PREVIOUS owners mowed the lawn next to my mothers driveway and
so THEY OWNED IT. This was after they insisted it WAS theirs and my mother had us
put up a fence to establish our ownership over the property. Ingrid

"The law" you are thinking of is called "adverse possession." There's
always a lot of misinformation floating around about adverse possession
and it's not as easy to lose land that way as people seem to think.
