My question involves real estate located in the State of: California
After owning a piece of residential property for over 8 years, I decided to extend an existing fence to cover my yard to the south side of my house. My neighbor thought the property line might be off, so I put my posts in a foot back from the the property line that had been observed since I purchased the property. After I placed the posts, my neighbor had his property surveyed. Turns out two of my posts are on his property (by 5-6 inches), and he is now suing me for the cost of the survey and legal fees. Am I going to be stuck paying all this? He also paid to have the lot on the other side of me surveyed (to stick it to me). Turns out all of our fences are off. I own some of the land that had been my neighbors to the north, and my neighbor to the south (who started all this) lost 2-3 feet on the other side of his lot. Thanks for any help.
