Being a surveyor/attorney from the west coast I can tell you that every state I've worked in has modified by statute common law adverse possession. S...
A true north arrow does not mean much without a Basis of Bearings statement. You are probably not doing a sun or star shot, so my guess is you are us...
I have consulted Brown's boundary control and legal principles-fourth edition page 205, principle 21 but still like the proration solution. First of a...
