Question:

Craig and Sue Shaffer divided their real property into two lots. They enclosed one lot with a fence and sold it to the Murdocks. The other lot was sold to the Cromwells. All of the parties orally agreed that the fence marked the property line. Over the next three decades, each lot was sold three more times. Houses were built, and the lots were landscaped, including lilac bushes planted against the fence. Later, one of the owners removed the fence, and another built a shed next to where it had been. On the lot with the shed, the Talbots erected a carport abutting the lilac bushes, which all previous owners believed was planted on the property line. Then, the Nielsons bought the adjacent lot and measured it according to the legal description in the deed. The Nielsons discovered that the Talbots’ carport encroached on their property by about thirteen feet. Are the Nielsons entitled to damages for their “lost” property from any party? Explain.
