Typical Issues include:
- Fences may not be where you think they are
- Ingress/Egress issues – road is not in an easement
- Incorrect acreage (square footage)
- Encroachments (by others onto your property or vice versa)
- Conformance with setbacks & current zoning that affect future additions
- Easements of record may limit/ affect current & future use
- Easements that should be of record and are not
- Slope Restrictions
These are a few of the reasons to hire a well educated and experienced Professional Land Surveyor (PLS). A good PLS should help you save time and money while hopefully maintaining neighborly relations.
A PLS can help isolate, understand and correct Title Issues. A PLS can provide a myriad of technical solutions to resolve title issues including Easements, Lot Line Adjustments, Certificate of Compliance, Record of Survey and Mediation Support & Expert Witness.
Most issues can be resolved out of court by working with a team composed of Client, PLS, Title Company and in some cases a Client Attorney.
In some cases a Survey will reveal Title Issues that no one knew about.
