@chris87 gotcha bud.?ÿ Sorry for the sarcasm.?ÿ But I could write a book on the last 1.0 ac boundary I surveyed.
I found the "original" 1952 corner.?ÿ That the 1985 retacement surveyor apparently missed/ignored during a survey of the adjoing 20 AC junior parcel.?ÿ Which the 1985 survey was subsequently was referred to in a transfer to the current owners of the 20ac adjoiner.?ÿ
Then in 2017 a surveyor who is supposed to be retracing the 1952 senior acre for the owner of the adjoing 20 AC "supposed to be purchasing the 1.0 ac" holds?ÿ the 1985 adjoining retracement but not finding any corners of the 1.0 acre sets new corners about 15' off in the rear.
Meanwhile I'm hired to survey the 1 ac.?ÿ the title of which refers to the 1952 survey.?ÿ And without a whole lot of effort I find a rod about 1.5' deep that agrees with my tape measure and the measurements of the 52 plat.?ÿ However disagree with the new rods set in 2017 that the neighbor who is on my ass saying that's not the corner.?ÿ The corner is over there 15' away.?ÿ I had it surveyed in 2017 and that's where they set it here's a copy of the plat.?ÿ
Then I have the 2017 surveyor calling trying to explain but not understanding how they missed the 52 iron I found, then their attorney and so on.?ÿ ?ÿ
I know what happened, know the history of all the surveyors involved and held the 52 iron while showing the overlapping title due to the 1985 survey.?ÿ What I can't explain is why the 2017 surveyor didn't show the same.?ÿ
I spent a week researching merger doctrine, unity of title, unity of description and any other source I could find to justify the 1985 survey.?ÿ But I ultimately had to hold the 52 plat and show the overlap and let my client know a title issue exists.?ÿ I'll let you know how it is resolved
