What's to stop an unscrupulous lawyer or re from obtaining a free a free copy of a survey then, turning around and billing someone at closing ?

Interesting...in WA an unstamped document would not be allowed. You would have to stamp it, and either sign it or mark it as preliminary or some other explanation.?ÿ
@dmyhill That is what I was thinking but even farther if the person that you are sending the map is not the client, I feel that the preliminary stamp is not acceptable. That function is for review only and nothing should be "preliminary" after 13 years.
Kind of leads you to the conclusion that maybe we shouldn't be handing them out 13 years later.
Our obligation should end at the client we did the work for.?ÿ And that shouldn't include unlimited plan copies for unlimited years.
Forgive my ignorance here but,
Isn't a stamped and dated survey plat a copywrited document,?ÿ and other than by use for the original client/purchaser(usually spelled out in some fashion ofthe legal-sleeze jargon that accompanies the documents) and or the authority under or to which it was filed any copy constitutes a violation of copywriter laws?

My inquiring mind wants to k ow without reading this whole thread.

Do a search of the site for "copyright".?ÿ This has been discussed a number of times.
I can't even wrap my head around how a non-recording state would work.?ÿ Isn't it just chaos??ÿ I mean why even have deeds at all??ÿ
