agreed boundary doctrine
agreed-boundary doctrine. The principle by which adjacent landowners resolve uncertainties over land boun-daries by permanently fixing the boundaries by agreement; specif., the rule that owners of contiguous land may agree on the boundary between the parcels, as long as the actual boundary is uncertain, there is agreement between the two owners about the boundary line, there is acquiescence in the agreed line for a time exceeding the statute of limitations, and the agreed boundary is identifiable on the ground. — Also termed doctrine of practical location. See agreed boundary under BOUNDARY. [Cases: Boundaries 46, 48. C.J.S. Boundaries §§ 67, 69–73, 83.]
