Question for surveyors

[Ken45101]

Just to add an oddity to the thread. My neighbor sold her place (5 acres in the country). Buyer had it surveyed, corners staked, etc. Farmer who owned the surrounding land granted him the right to extend the roadside fence some 75 ft and fence back to teh corner creating a triangluar piece. That eliminated rocky patch from the farmers field. That all happened in 1978. Problem in the future? Nothing in writing and teh farm was sold in around 1990. I can see all sorts of legal problems if it is ever resurveyed.

AFAIK, here in Ohio, property line fences do not have to be on the property line and they do not change the property lines. For example, we have an intermittent creek down one property line. The fence is as much as 25 feet from the actual property line so as to avoid going back and forth over the creek. All legal as I understand it. We have another line that literally is down the middle of another intermittent creek. The fence is not on the property line, LOL.
