@samthesurveyor if we tried use every trial court decision to guide our work we would have a very whacky world. Trial courts come out with conflicting...

@lurker I don't understand what you are saying. Has rhe sarcasm gone over my head? How can you determine where the boundary is without knowing what th...

My perception of the whole thing: Flat Earthers are only trying see how pissed off you'll get at their stupidity. They will even go as far as proving...

@rover83 protection of the public and loyalty to a client are the same thing. Being loyal to the client does not change the results of the survey and...

If the originaly posted disclaimer is for a topo, or as-built or something like that it may make sense. But if it's for a boundary survey it is garbag...

@aliquot It is possible have I have misunderstood the problem. also possible that I have. The description of the problem wasn't the clearest.

@norman-oklahoma I may be missing something, but the OP hasn't said the deed is incorrect have they? Just that they have the wrong deed. Right?

@jsargent99 the "legal underpinning" is the words themselves. What do you need to know the frontage for? In common usage a lot's frontage is the leng...

I have Jeff Lucas's book and I read it, but it is very much another text book and I did not get much new info out of it. In my part of Upstate New Yo...

@joe-b The situation that I run into a lot is the deed has bearings and distances, so it was surveyed, but there is no called for monuments, adjoine...

@geeoddmike sounds like you are thinking of "assumed north". There are an infinite number of ways of assigning coordinates to a point. US Surveyors of...

@chris-bouffard not many places left that you afford a decent house on that kind of salary, and those that are left are unlikely to provide many jobs ...

@chris-bouffard I don't know anything about NY state employment, but most states' (and the Federal goverment's) benefit package is on par with what mo...
