About a year ago, I was exchanging emails with a title agent who inquired about ordering a survey. She put the survey "on hold" because the current owner said she would provide a survey and affadavit. The next day, the title agent fowarded me this, with a note that the survey was "a go":
"Ok…………………..this was ACTUALLY sent to me by the seller of a property I am closing. This is her “SURVEY”….
I had to send this out…..I still have not stopped laughing!! WOW!!
She is actually asking that I allow her “friends” that are buying the property to be able to use this so they don’t have to pay for a new one.
OMG
Joyce Meyer, who signed the survey, was the property owner.

Joyce may have been the victim of an LS that provided her something similar in the past.
Seen some, of the same quality, that were signed and sealed.
Nullifying the Landowners Rights!
TPR:
This is an excellent example of the sort of elitist attitude that pervades the ranks of land surveyors. You and that agent apparently colluded to nullify the right of some landowner to establish her boundaries in the locations that she recognized and to prevent her from correcting the record description that was obviously faulty! The record parcel map probably showed straight lines around her "property" (to use the lawyer's term for fence enclosure) and we all know that this cannot be. A lawnmower seldom mows a perfectly straight line and even the straightest fence will be found to have some angles in it once all of the posts are plotted up for an Affidavit of Establishment survey.
That map, together with a simple affidavit recorded in the miscellaneous records of your county or one in rural Wisconsin would have been entirely sufficient. Know your state laws (and those of Wisconsin, too)!
