And with descriptions like this you can understand why!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a typical deed for properties that were not included in a subdivision, or have never had a survey recorded at the Registry. No dimensions, no areas, but at least there is one natural monument!
Luckily for me, the property to the north and east is registered land (Read that as Land Court!)
This won't be as difficult as it looks, maybe because I have been dealing with these sorts of deeds for the past 30 years. This job was actually referred to me by another local surveyor that didn't feel like digging into this further. They will be happy to design a septic system ONCE I resolve the boundaries!
I am glad that the client is educated enough to want a survey, he is a retiree from White Plains NY and owns the abutting parcel on Elbow Pond. According to the assessors records this is a one acre parcel valued at $300K.

I suppose that I can prepare a "Warren-ty" Deed, but others have to settle for a Warranty Deed ...

Nice! White plains. Bout 5 min from me. Around here no property is sold without a survey. (Maybe unless it's an all cash deal)
Also around here a warranty deed is the thing of the past. All bargain and sale now.
I think a quitclaim deed has no covenants? That the point.
I've never seen a Warranty Deed, only Grant Deeds and Quitclaim Deeds.
A perfectly good (quitclaim) deed for non GLO country; looks like a typical original bounds description. Surely there's extrinsic evidence of where the Ranges were, possibly public and private records further delineating them (you mention a few to the north and east), and hopefully occupation evidence (fences, roads, improvements, et. al.). A description is not negated because it doesn't meet the modern POB, BOB, distances and bearings, call for monuments standards, yada-yada; if title transferred it's the definitive description.
A one acre parcel isn't going require more than a few days in the field, but possibly many days searching records, interviewing adjoiners, orchestrating boundary agreements, assuring a Title Company, filing a ROS (or similar in Massachusetts) etc. Charge accordingly.

You're one of the few that can make that joke, obviously.
