It does seem like you will need a survey regardless of how you handle the rest. You'll also need to know local code for what is permitted (how near the property line, how high, etc.) and with any potential HOA requirements. I would check with the neighbors to see how they feel about it and if they are are willing to grant your workers permission to be on the property. Most reasonable people will appreciate that you are investing in the property and improving property value, but as we all know, there are plenty of unreasonable folks out there. If your family is willing to pay for the expense without requesting any cooperation or collaboration on it, I doubt they will care.
Worse things worse, if the fence isn't on your property and the property owner doesn't want to do anything with it or put any money into it, set yours inside your property line and make it a little taller than theirs so you don't have to see the old one or deal with it.
