I'm seeing a trend, and my clients aren't that happy with it, but they have made it clear if that is what it takes, just go do it.
Commercial site, adjoining residential lots. The ALTA standards require me to show the recording data of the adjoining subdivision plat. The lender's attorneys just have to have, for whatever reason, all of the adjoining platted subdivision lot lines shown, with the lot numbers, and the names of the lot owners. Hours of work wasting my client's money, but they have no choice if they want the loan to close.
Anyone else seeing this?
The entire sub? nope... immediately adjoining as in 15 or 20 feet, yes.
For zoning I have even been asked to provide those buffer sketches, like X feet from and point on the boundary, with owners, mailing addresses, etc. Not a fun task, but clerks need work too.
If table a #13 was checked the standards require owner info as well.
I have been providing adjoining land owner information on all surveys my entire career.
Have had to knock on doors and ask some people who they are because they qualify for their public records to be redacted from any search engines and paper trails in index books.
With today's fed money involved and some state monies, it is a requirement.
For Texas VLB mortgaged properties it is required to give ownership across Headright and county road bounds.
I am so glad for CamScanner to get that in a digital form because the hard copies of years past were taking up alot of room.
Reading every adjoiner's deed takes time also and has led to some unique ownership rights and situations that even the land owner did not they had which affected my client's property, some good and some bad.
I think it's good to show adjoining ownership. Especially if you actually read the deed! Looking at gaps or overlaps.
