Anyone can screw something up....

but to really screw something up, you need a lawyer.

Back in 2005 I surveyed a one acre tract. There was an overlap with the tract to the north and I removed that portion of the property on the survey, and wrote a new description. The lot sold off of my description. A few months later the people borrowed money against the tract and the title company reverted to the previous description with the overlap, not the description in the deed where the people had bought the property.

Fast forward a few years. The lot is foreclosed, and then sold to another party, once again using the description with the overlap.

Now the current owner calls.

It's bad enough fixing these problems once, but there's no reason to have to do it twice.
