i bought a farm 2 years ago, the serveyors came out before closing, used gps to survey the farm. the gps was off about 20 ft. they staked the farm off, my stakes were 6 rows into the neighbors all around. needless to say, there were some upset folks. i met with all the neighbors and we identified the origional property boundaries. our attorney sent the surveyors out to re survey from the benchmark in the area. not suprisingly, the origional markers were correct, the gps was wrong. it would be in your best interest to check with your attorney to see how to proceed. each state has differetnt laws. whatever you do be sure to document it!!! if it goes to court, you need something in writing. send a registered letter, return receipt to the neighbor, explaing that there may be a problem with the survey and property lines, keep a copy. have a surveyor re survey the property from a known benchmark, not a gps signal. register the survey with the county.its better to take care of the problem now, its real hard to straighten it out later . you may want to borrow a metal detector and see if there are any iron rods driven in the ground from the origional surveys when it was first platted.
