Colleagues-

I spotted this here:

http://bangordailynews.com/2013/12/31/politics/what-new-laws-take-effect-in-maine-on-jan-1-doctors-surveyors-and-exterminators-pay-heed/

LD 1267, An Act to Recodify the Land Surveyor Licensing Laws, which clarified the rules and regulations regarding the certification of land surveyors, allowed for land surveyors in-training from other states to obtain similar trainee licenses in Maine.

Can be seen here:

http://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/bills/bills_126th/billtexts/HP090601.asp

As an outsider, might this section be problematic as to whether it's the abutting landowner's position of the line that is right or that of the surveyor ?

Sec. 2. 17 MRSA §2511, sub-§1, ¶A, as enacted by PL 2003, c. 550, §1, is amended to read:

A. "Established property line" means a line demarcated by monuments, signs, markings, pins, reference points or other markers that denotes a change in ownership between abutting properties. These established property line markers must have been placed upon mutual agreement of the abutting landowners, based on historical physical evidence of a preexisting boundary line, or by a licensed professional surveyor pursuant to Title 32, chapter 121 141.

Just asking,

Cheers,

Derek
