More details to this question:
I have a shed that has been in the same place for 30 years. When it was built my father asked the neighbor, if it could be placed on what they thought was the property line. Recently a new survey was done to show where the property line is and the shed is partly on the neighbors property. He told me to move it or he will bulldoze it down with everything in it. The shed has been there for 30 years with no problems until now. There is no way to move the shed without tearing it down and the township regulations today will not allow us to build a new one. Do we have to move the shed or is there some way to keep it where it is?

There's a legal and practical answer to this question. Legally you might be able to claim adverse possession or some other easement due to how long the shed has been located where it is. The practical problem is that for you to enforce that, you'd have to file a lawsuit against the neighbor and bear the costs of the suit. The outcome will always be uncertain. Plus you have an angry neighbor. What is the least cost alternative? File suit or move the shed?
