Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Wisconsin

I bought a house and found out that the property lines appear to be incorrect. I called the Title company about this and was told to get a survey done. The survey costs $1000.00 + Is the Title company responsible for the cost since my Title says there are no emcumberances on the property and it appears that part of the neighbors house is on my lot?
