Seller installed fence on next door neighbor's property

Posted

I currently have a property under contract and recently discovered that the seller built their fence on the neighboring church's property. The seller's agent informed me that the seller discussed this with the church and they expressed no concerns. However, there is nothing documented about this agreement. My agent is suggesting a property survey, but the seller seems uninterested in addressing this issue. I am hesitant to get a survey, particularly if the seller isn't planning to take any action. Are the sellers legally obligated to ensure that the fence is installed correctly on their property, or to obtain written confirmation from the neighboring church stating they have no objections? Or should this not be considered an issue?
