@mike-berry over the years I have argued with many and am not ashamed to have held up the closings on a few multi million dollar transaction with outside influences trying to dictate my wording or what I show. In the end, the liability comes to me, not them and I stick to my guns. I also refuse to certify to attorneys that have no financial skin in the game of any transaction.

Good on you mate. That right there is a master’s class in the duties and responsibilities of a professional land surveyor all wrapped up tidy like in two sentences. By covering your a$$ you are more importantly protecting the public, which is written into all of our professional canons of ethics and conduct from Atlantic to Pacific. .

Eh, sometimes.
Other times CYA can hurt the client and the public, all in the name of trying to minimize liability that isn’t going to go away just because we froze off a layer before plotting that survey.
