    Squatters rights i.e.

    Where would this be located..

    In most of the USA... I would have my property surveyed and staked.. to be 100% sure exactly where the line is.. then immediately tear down any fence that is on my property, right back to the property line, even if it means a hacksaw and bolt cutters on a chain link fence.

    They can't squat if you don't let them.

    ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

    Depends on the circumstances of the fence being built. You show the neighbor the survey showing the fence was misplaced and you tell him to move it or you will sue.
