I gotcha. But actually at this point I'm a little more concerned that
neighbor #2 would try and force me to move the fence back over to my
property. I guess I'm clear on the adverse possession/prescriptive
easement laws in my area, but I have no idea regarding ownerships of
fences and responsibilities to move fences that were built by others,
or perhaps more importantly, what is customary.

Basically, I'm a little worried that I may have to pay some money to
move a fence back over to my side of the property line when I'm not the
one who put up the fence in the first place. In my opinion, if
neighbor #2 wants the fence moved, he should pay to have it moved
himself - I have no objection to that. But I don't feel I should pay
to move a fence that (1) I didn't build (2) the neighbor saw being
built and never objected to. But I'm curious if my position is
unreasonable. I'd kind of like to know before I talk further with
neighbor #2, in case he asks me to move the fence.

I don't recall the original post but if it didn't say....where is the
survey in all this. Should it not have identified these problems? If it
did and the buyer purchased it anyway, I would think he/she took on the
problem. If it didn't show the encroachment then the surveyor has some
responsibility, right?
