You and your neighbour can create a 'boundary agreement' to record: the boundary between 2 properties. who's responsible for maintaining a hedge, wall, tree or fence between 2 properties.
The boundary line is where the property ends. An easement is aright to cross over your property. Most easements are for utilities or access to a property. Both are pretty much written in stone and beyond your ability to control.
Boundary lines help determine the extent of a property and its legal ownership. Specifically, these lines define a property's physical limits and help prevent conflicts between neighboring property owners.
