If there is an issue regarding the location of the property line between abutting property owners the first resources would be any recorded surveys of the properties and the deed descriptions. The surveys, if any, would show the location of the iron pins or any other boundary markers. The deed descriptions may indicate the locations of boundary markers.
If there is a dispute and there are no recorded surveys then the parties must hire a state licensed land surveyor to determine the location of the property line and mark it. The parties could share the cost. If the parties cannot agree then you need to consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options, preferable the attorney who represented you at your closing.
Once the location of the property line has been established, whoever desires to construct a fence must check local building codes for regulations regarding fence location.

Can planting be placed right next to a neighbors fence?
If the plants are on your property they may be planted along your neighbors fence. However, climbing plants that will grow over the fence cannot be planted along your neighbors fence. Caveat: Make sure your neighbor has not installed the fence "inside" their property line so it lies a short distance FROM the property line. That is the practice in some areas and is required by the city ordinances in some areas. In that case, the land along the fence would belong to your neighbor. You need to determine where the property line is located and not assume the fence is on the property line.
