@mark-mayer I don't think there is much abuse of the AK right of entry law. If there ever is it could be addressed. Of course it is still a good ide...

What does keeping the original calls mean??ÿ

Thanks, for illustrating that some of us still have to cut long lines. Some here don't believe it is still done.?ÿ

@a-harris I guess I don't see it the way you do. The purpose of creating a new parcel for the house, is to transfer an interest to the bank. I am sur...

@party-chef Of course there is room for mentorship. Construction/mining surveying requires a lot of knowledge too, but having worked on both sides, I ...

@a-harris I am not sure I understand what "completed paperwork" means, but it certainly makes sense that when you subdivide a parcel, that both parts...

@party-chef You are right about the dismissal, but the division is real and shouldn't be ignored. Construction surveying and boundary surveying are re...

@bulgin If you find conclusive written proof of an easment you don't neccisarily have to sue.  If you notify the servient estate (the property y...

@paul-in-pa Paul, I think you are missing Holy Cow's point. In many states section lines are the center lines of public easements by law, so a sectio...

Trying to establish an easment by necessity is an option, but it should be your last option. That requires going to court, and going to court gets ver...

@flga-pls-2-2 But commenting on a survey is not in direct violation of the law posted above.

But that's just it, and what causes so much confusion. The property line is not usually the right of way.?ÿ Land owners usually own to the center line...

It should be, but the vast majority of the surveys I see don't explain the reasons for their boundary determination.?ÿ?ÿ

"Excepting right of public in and to centerline of road", means that all the rights thay go with owning the land were transfered to your father except...

What does Texas have to do with this? There is no public land in Texas, just government owned land

...and I agree with, "Surveyors don't set corner with substantial monuments". Whats with 1/2" X 24" rebar with tiny plastic caps?????

Surveying without a licence, sure, but where is the fraud?
