My husband and I are in the process of purchasing a new home. We had the survey done and found out that the shed and the pools filter in on the neighbors land. The neighbor put up a fence 20+ years ago, but left about 3-4 feet of land beyond the fence. Since then the home that we are purchasing has put down cement and the pools filter is not 4 feet from the neighbors fence. So technically could they ask us to move the shed and filter because it is their land? If so, do we have the owner of the home we are purchasing pay for the move of the filter?

Editor's Response
I certainly would ask the seller to deal with the issue before closing. It does not sound like a huge problem, and I assume both things can be moved back onto your land, but you do not want to "buy a law suit". If the seller believes he owns the land in question (perhaps through some adverse possession claim) force him or her to establish title before the closing. Good luck.
