Under Oregon state (as I learned in real estate school) the proprty line can be established if niether party new the differance for more than 20 years. But that's real hard to prove. I once had 80 acres in southern oregon and a neighbor had took over several acres on a far corner. when i fenced him off he complained and pointed out the law. I new better as the property line was well established and he just took over the corner for his own use because no one before had complained about it.
When I told him to stuff it and get his building off my land he backed right down and moved it.
the biggest problem with doing this on a list that is nation wide is that the law is different in every state.
In California you run into those old Spanish land grants whee they say the line is as far as a man can ride a horse in two days. now that sure can open to debate.
In the east they used a lot of corners that were marked by the big Oak or some other land mark. these can be difficult because the land mark may not be there after several hundred years.
In the eastern states with old deeds that were made more by point to point than actual degrees and chains and such you can get into real fun trying to figure out who owns what.
Out here in the west we were setup to use the newer system of actual lines that are established on a map rather than the land so it becomes a lot easier to find the point of which your land is lay out. also we have perminant markers at the intersection of every section. there is one on the NE corner of my property. That is a corner that can not be argued about as it has the US Government marker set down many years ago as the section corner. When they do surveys out here they like to start at one of these markers to be sure of their calculations. There has been more law suits over property lines than almost any other thing. Now with the GPS system coming into use there is going to be even more of them.
