Are you truly ready for the fight that is brewing??
Actually, "eminent domain" is an act by government to take your property. What y'all are discussing "adverse possession." This is where title to another's real property can be acquired without compensation, by holding the property in a way that conflicts with the true owner's rights for a specified period. That specified time is set by State law. An example might be "squatter's rights" or the use of your property for many years without you taking action.
You can identify the property line by locating the surveyor's marker which is usually placed near the sidewalk by the street to identify the property line.
