Plat or deed govern?
Ran across a deed that conveyed a few lots and referenced an old record plat from the ’50’s that was lacking, to say the least. The rectangular lots were described in the deed by their respective lot numbers, widths (road front age) and depths, no bearings. The widths matched the plat, but the depths were stated as longer, and in one case, shorter than shown on the plat. The property developer owned the additional property that allowed the extra depth to be added. I don’t think the depths have ever been questioned or disputed since first conveyance in the ’50’s.
Looking for other such cases and/or opinions.
