Someone comes along and destroys all evidence of the fence, ?ÿNow, where is the property line? ?ÿCaterpillars are very good at this.
Whenever possible on a new split I do my best to encourage the divider to get away from the ratty old tree-infested and crooked as a cow's hind leg mess of broken wire and rotted posts that once upon a time might have done the intended job. ?ÿCreate a new line where a new fence can be built. ?ÿLet the tree-hugging coon hunter keep the crappy vegetation and let the side in need of a proper fence have one without a fight.

Whatever the client wants, it's their decision. Be overly clear communicating with them. Call for the fence in the legal. If you're running a couple tenths inside the fence, say so. If it's not perfectly straight you might describe as being running down the average line of the fence?ÿ
If the client is cutting something up it's thier choice. It would be professional to educate them. If you are retracing a boundary it is a function of the evidence and law.
