Yes, I think this goes back to the title company or the appraiser. Whenever I've sold a home, they have to look for the surveyors pins, and if they can't find them, then I've had to pay to have them set.
My friend in Hawaii bought a home and was told before the purchase that the people next door had put a retaining wall 2 feet inside her propertyline, and then built a driveway on top of it. Since this was disclosed to her before the purchase, she contacted the neighbor who was in the process of selling their property to discuss a solution. When the neighbor sold the property a few days later, the new buyer was not told about the problem, however they were still responsible. After much discussion, the legal opinion was that the neighbor needed to move the retaining wall. The outcome was that they took down the existing wall and put up a new one 2 feet back. My friend chose to participate in paying one quarter of the cost of the rock wall because it was a much nicer wall than had been there before and would raise her property value in the end, and it was a step toward getting along with her new neighbors.
