Party Chief I Used to Work For (PCIUWF): Hey, that farm you own down here, the part that joins the creek, do you have a survey on that?

Me: Sure do, you did it about 30 years ago.

PCIUWF: Do you have a copy?

Me: Yep, in my parent's filing cabinet (2 hours from me)

PCIUWF: Well, we're surveying the property across the creek and the guy that just bought the property thinks his line crosses the creek.

Me: Where did he get an idea like that.

PCIUWF: The tax map shows the line across the creek.

Me: You tell him that he'll have hell to pay if he crosses that creek.

Pros and Cons of Recording Surveys

Pro - provides pesky neighbors with constructive notice of where you think your property lines are. Which carries a lot of weight after 30 years. Much more weight than a map in a private filing cabinet.

FWIW, this guy has owned this property for about 6 weeks.

The fellow he bought it from recognized the creek as the line.

His daddy recognized the creek as the line.

His daddy, who also happens to be my great great grand daddy, made that creek the line when he split his property.

I asked PCIUWF how big a boy this fellow is, haha.

Unfortunately, in CA a Record of Survey doesn't impart constructive notice. You need an Official Record or subdivision map to do that.
