Amara purchased a suburban home. At the time of the sale, the real estate agent pointed to a decorative stone fence as the boundary of the property. Amara had several dogs she wanted to keep on her property so she erected a chain link fence along what she believed to be her property line. Her neighbor watched the work being done and did not object. Twenty years later, as the result of a new survey by the town, Amara was surprised to learn that the fence was 18 inches inside the neighbor's property. Can Amara claim ownership of the property on her side of the fence?
