It's been on record more than a year. Contacted the attorney who said they filed a scrivener's affidavit earlier this week. I'm not sure I would call that a scrivener's error.

I have seen that before where I was the lucky one who was supposed to come up with the REAL description. Everyone wants to get the sale closed quickly and don't give a hoot about waiting on some goofy surveyor to show up and write something that no one understands, but, somehow, pleases the title company.

Besides the area conflict, that’s just a lot of word salad to get around to describing a lot in a plat.

Oh my. How was the evidence on the ground.

This is a case of both parties already agreeing on where the boundary will be. The surveyors task may as be simple as verifying the location of the parent tract mentioned and set two monuments to mark the divide line.

Some jurisdictions will not allow the fuzzy deed to be recorded. Others will accept it with no problem.

The scriveners affidavit stated "I had not yet been provided the final plat" for an explanation. Funny thing, the plat had been recorded about two months prior to that description being drafted.

That is truly bizarre. Lawyer is too busy to do a proper job at anything, apparently.
