I don't see what the big deal is here. Can you place the deed on the ground or not? Could any prudent surveyor place it on the ground?
For Indian lands there is a process (CFedS) where a deed is reviewed as to it's sufficiency of description for surveying. This sounds like the same sort of request.
Not a big deal, make a decision and report it, Yea or Nay?
Love that one.
Title companies have been rushing for the door of "no liability" for some time now, and they just want to collect the money for "title insurance" and insure nothing.
Just the cash, jack.
I like this.
I am ordering more title work than ever; it's cheap "insurance"; just don't completely depend on it.
In Wisconsin, title examiners are licensed and regulated by the state.
If this company doesn't want to do it, get another title company to do it.
My experience working with them on a variety of ugly titles is a good one; of course, I have my favorites and steer customers to them.
Hmmmm...let's break it down..
Yup.
"That's what we do."
I agree.
I agree, they should get an actual, on the ground survey.

You could always fall back on the old ALTA statement, "The deed description does not form a closed mathamatical figure.".
