[edit] Good fences make good neighbors
I want to find out who pays for the fence between myself and my neighbors house. How do I know if the fence is mine or my neighbors?????
- One way would be to go to your local county records office and see what boundaries are set forth in the property records for your block. You may need to get a surveyor to tell you where exactly the fence is. BD2412 T 13:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Well claim that it is yours and in twenty years or so it will be!
[edit] Citations?
This article is good, but I believe it could use some more citations, to texts and/or court cases. For instance, the passage regarding a "quasi-property interest" in biotech should probably be cited: "See Moore v. Regents of the University of California, 51 Cal. 3d 120 (1991)."
[edit] Re: Citations?
Citations are good however you run the risk of confining yourself to one jurisprudential region. Better to leave them out!!!
[edit] Is there a Lawyer in the house?
This article is a strange mixture of contintental, american and english law. I think the Napoleonic code stuff should be a footnote its not very relevant in the Anglophone world. Though it may have had an impact on US state law (The US constitution was passed before the French Revolution). SOmeone call a lawyer.Mrdthree 12:24, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- Footnote? This is an international encyclopedia - some of our readers come from countries where civil code systems are very much alive! Perhaps we should instead separate out an article on Property Law in the United States... BD2412 T 13:00, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

- The article focuses far too much on the contemporary state of the common law, and specifically U.S. law. An article entitled "Property Law" should be about property law generally. I agree that Property Law in the United States might be a good thing to separate out. Common-Law Property Law might also be a good page to separate. I actually think this article merits a worldwide view notice, and will add one. Elliotreed 04:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
