What’s in it
AI summary If neighbors agree to treat a certain line or marker as their property boundary for many years, that line becomes the permanent legal boundary. Even if neighbors later buy the land next to each other so they own both pieces, the old boundary lines stay in place. If the new owners later agree to a different boundary line and follow it for many years, that new line will then become the permanent boundary.1
