Neighbours fought over a 65-year-old fence in Kansas; court ruled that the surveyed property line mattered more than the fence | World News - The Times of India
A 65-year-old fence has become the centre of a property dispute between neighbouring landowners in Kansas, USA, after a court was asked to decide whether the old fence or the surveyed property line determined ownership of approximately 5.13 acres of land. The Kansas Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s ruling that the legal boundary described in the property deeds took precedence over the irregular fence, rejecting the neighbours’ claim that they had acquired the disputed land through long-term possession.
