In a multi-parcel conveyance from an estate the deed describes parcel one by lot number and refers to a recorded 1968 subdivision plat. Parcel two is described by lot letter and refers to a recorded 1983 subdivision plat. Once conveyed to the executor, they are conveyed separately to different purchasers. The 1983 plat appears to be a reconfiguration of the 1968 plat. In any case the interior lot lines changed significantly which creates a 12,000 square foot overlap when mixing the two. All the lots belonged to family members and over the years fences and improvements were placed at random because “it didn’t matter” then. Now the original subdividers are gone, the lots aren’t all owned by family, there are no clear lines of possession and there is mass confusion. What a mess. I thought I heard Warren Zevon in the background singing “It’ll take Lawyers, guns and money to get me out of this”.

Was chatting with a local attorney one day after wrapping up something similar. I commented that we would both probably be out of a job if everyone got along perfectly. We agreed on that.
Boundary Line Agreement?
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
That's plan A. I'm still working on plan B. This is my third (maybe more) time attempting to follow the guy that did most of the surveying. Hopefully my last.

Years ago we had a fellow who was well known for leaving behind messes. He moved away. I heard he died When he left, every worker in every Register of Deeds Office in this area of the state could finally take a deep breath. Literally. Apparently he was a heavy smoker and enjoyed smoking an old pipe such that he reeked of rotten, stale, tobacco. The second he entered their office they would open windows and do anything possible to remove his odor.
