On my present old foggy lot, I am the second owner after the

responsible for repair of the wall.


There have been 3 surveys of the lot next to my house over the years
and there are 3 different "corner pins" driven in the dirt. The spread
is about a foot.


How did this happen? One by the owner and one by the next door
neighbor? And the one by the owner favors the owner, and the one by
the neighbor favors the neighbor?

Does it affect you?


My friend is about to hire a surveyor to put in pins, etc. and if she
spends 1400 and it contradicts her, she won't be happy!


BTW, the lots there now, since 2007, are the first such small properties
(an acre or two each) Before that it was a farm. Her house was there
and the lawn planted before the neighbor started construction.
