I took my fence down a few years ago but left up the posts. My neighbor has now put up a new fence attached to my posts. This wouldn't be a big deal but, the posts are about a foot in on my property line and from what I gather ( correctly or incorrectly ) over time he could absorb my property.

I left a note asking him to move it in 30 days. It has been about 40 days. Any advice?

I have considered taking it down myself and charging him $1000 labor.
 
He can only claim your property if he "openly and notoriously" occupies your property for 7 years and you do not give him notice. Just tell him his fence is on your property and ask him to remove it immediately, if he does not within whatever time you give him file a suit in small xx aims court.
 
I wouldn't normally interject in something like this but wow. Where do you live? Your neighbor has some big balls. If it's on your property and you can prove it, take it down and sell it. Too easy.
 
Damn, I guess its obvious what he thinks of you but I'm curious:
Did you remove the fence while he was your neighbor or a previous occupant???
Wise man say fences make good neighbors!

I could never see myself removing an existing fence between me and my neighbors on my property, let alone removing one and leaving the posts up but if I was in your situation I would fire up my tractor and said fence would be gone in short order just for spite!

You could always put an ad on Craigslist too:
FREE Fence. Must remove all of it including posts!!!

I would do the neighborly thing and remind him it needs to be gone

Or leave the fence up but make it well known your property doesnt stop there. Do you know why he built it there? Kinda strange
