An Attorney that I do a lot of work for asked me to find him easy to use deed plotting software. He has used a certain one for many many years, but it just will not load up on the newer computers.
The guy is not software savvy by any means, so the simpler the better.
It has to be able to do curves and print.
Price is not that important, but within reason.
I have googled a few, but do not have much time to try them out.
Thanks,
Randy
I love Deed Plotter. Great tool, and cheap. Also, if you use Deed Plotter, and you write your descriptions in word, then there is a tool in Word that installs from Deed Plotter that allows you to copy your description and it will convert the calls in deed plotter as a check. It doesn't work all the time, but definitely is a time save.
Now, I use Carlson's legal writer to write my descriptions (unless they're really short) and just fill in the deed information. Less chance of getting it wrong.
All attorneys and land men that I know use Deed Plotter, so it can't be THAT hard to figure out if they use it. 🙂
There are two really good packages that most folk use in my area.
The first is Deed Check 10 available at www.agtcad.com for $99.
The second does a little mors and is called Net Deed Plotter from www.greenbriergraphics.com and runs $200 a copy.(This one will allow him to take his word .doc files he has prepared and check them directly for closure and any typo's.)
AGT has several good paclages and is worth a look. The Greenbriar package is all that our local DOT will even look at. Neither will break the budget.
Attorneys have absolutely, positively NO business writing boundary descriptions. It is fine for them to have their clerical staff type them based on what is provided to them by a licensed land surveyor. The sooner they realize why this is very important, the better.
Holy,
I agree with you 100%, but I never indicated that he was writing legal descriptions.
