Default Putting up fence - Do I need a boundry survey?

My boundary survey is to check the fence line BEFORE I buy.

So I can assume the 20 year fence line is correct??
what if the neighbors move?


1. Check the adverse possession laws of your state. The property line may
have moved if 20 years have gone by.

2. A case can be made that the new owners agreed to the location of the
fence when they bought the property. It's not like it was hidden!
