Has anyone had much luck working with the neighbors on sharing the cost of a new fence?

CB,
Is it possible to lose the six feet of property on the other side of the fence after a number of years?

One truck load of wire and posts and alot of beer and beef for the "hands" and a few days we had new fences.
The fence line doesn't determine the property line, squatters rights went out early in the last couple of centuries.

wouldnt it have to be the accepted property line by both property owners for 25 years you would think if it was my property i could build a fence any where i chose right?Brandonm2":2hfblfhw said:Susie David":2hfblfhw said:To save all the hassle since our neighbors don't run cattle and we are borrowing some ground from the power company, yeah, they approved using their ROW for pasture...we did all the fencing.

Not true at ALL!! Under Alabama law, if a fenceline is an accepted property line for 25 years it IS the property line. My family bought a field in 1946 thinking it was 50 acres. We sold it in 2001 with 58.26 acres. The real line was well to the east of the fencerow (the result of a mistake in a family farm division); but since we had owned it "by adverse possession" those 8.26 acres were ours. I can't speak for other states, but a fenceline is better than a survey or a deed description if it is old enough.
