Q: Property boundary lines question in Oklahoma
Built my fence in 1960s. Moved off the survey mark 24" on to my property to eliminate neighbors tying on to or using my fence without permission. Neighbor is now claiming the fence and the 24" of land. What do I need to do to correct the situation?
A: You probably will have to file a quiet title action. That is a lawsuit to get a court determination of who has title to the 24" strip. Until this title issue is resolved, your neighbor's claim on the 24" strip could interfere with a land sale. You should use an attorney for this kind of issue.
