There may be differing specific statutory or common law language in differing jurisdictions, but they are all based on the doctrine of estoppel if the...

Actually, this is an excellent test question. In the real world, surveyors are required to make decisions based on a set of evidence. This question ...

C'mon JB. This is a title problem, pure and simple. You really shouldn't encourage surveyors to put the line at some theoretical location. The gran...

Classic estoppel setup. Assuming the deed language is "the east 50 feet of lot 3". The location is the E 50 of the lot, but when the problem is disc...

Yeah, that was my thought as well.I've read some of the other posts made since yours. They fall into the pattern. The thing to do is remain professi...

If that's the case I agree. I read it that they accepted a stub in that did not agree with original GLO. There may be reasons to hold the stub in, i...

So, you're okay with a surveyor stubbing in a monument over your property line and it is a new property line if you don't see it and challenge it righ...

I will never understand those kind of statutes. I mean, I don't even have to visit the site to prepare a map that says my measurements will return so...

Just pointing out there is a route for people to legitimately take if they disagree with the line and want it 1 foot somewhere else. Attorneys are pa...

In my area it's about 10k; but you have to have a license to practice law, and it's not called fudging:)

Interesting replies.."So again I ask, "Where is the rule book concerning disclosure to either your client or the general public?" I think it's at the ...

"Surveyors must understand them in order to properly use them"That I can agree with.

Yes, and the "loss in value" clause is not there for the purpose of allowing people to devalue their property in secrecy. I'm not sure it would apply...

Again, not necessarily the law. Regarding mortgages, there are lien theory and title theory States. Either way, the mortgagee has a right to partici...

Sorry but that is not the law. The lender has a future possessory interest in the property. If they don't sign off, and the future interest is reali...

A reputation for dishonesty can stem from withholding information as well as from putting forth false information. A surveyor with that kind of reput...

I would think it would be treated much like the case of adverse possession against a life tenant. The general rule is that adverse possession may be ...
