Ok I'm sure someone here has been in a similar situation that can chime in with their understanding of the law. Extra OB internet points if you can point me to specific state statues that support this.
Here's the situation, land that was a part of our ranch (a long term lease) was sold. The land had an outer perimeter fence we build and maintained until it sold but there was never an interior fence where our land met the leased land. We now need to build a fence to keep our cows off the old lease property.
We are about to build the fence and we know the property line due to the land sale survey markers. Important note is the new "neighbor" is not paying for any of the fence. Our plan was to build our fence about 3 feet inside our side of the property line so a) we own the fence and b) when spraying and maintaining the fenceline there is no direct disturbance of the neighboring property.
The question that has been brought up is that if the neighbor ever decides to put cows on his place, can he use our fenceline even though it is roughly 3 feet within our property and we own the fence?
He would have to build is own fence correct?
Thoughts & citations OB?
