How Would You Deal With This Survey?

Hello,

How would you deal with the following situation? Everything has come through amazingly on this house so far.

Complete pier & beam to roof rehab, plus an addition to the original house of about 20 feet.

Today we received the survey, and closing is on Friday.

Can the title company's attorney (Dallas, Texas) figure this one out so we do not lose the driveway? Is it possible that due to the length of time this driveway has existed that somehow there is a grandfather clause?

The fence on the west side of the house is quite far off from the current fence (not sure who owns the fence yet). I do know that the owner plans on not doing anything about this issue.

The east side of the property as you see has a boundary line running through the middle of the driveway.

I am not sure if this matters at all, but here are photos dating back from 2011 showing this area used as a driveway. See below:

I look forward to your input and comments!

Thanks,
