Then pull permits for new fence (if required), demo the old one, have surveyor stake or spike the property line, and like Bruce said, finish side at least a couple inches on your property.She’ll have to engage and pay for an attorney to get you to stop, but that seems unlikely if your survey is correct and not in error.
