I agree. Lots are created to be sold with a warranty deed, whereas streets are a dedication to the public without a guarantee—it is what it is.

I remember studying this 50 years ago. I no longer have the book, so thank you for posting it. My own ideas run contrary to Brown’s, but before I of...

Getting back to the discussion question - "What do you put on the plat." What do you show when record title leaves a gore between adjoining owners? Do...

I support the vigorous policing of the profession by State Boards. Where warranted, a full investigation should determine whether the survey has profe...

I think the government could demonstrate a compelling interest in requiring a tie to a GLO corner—one that would survive First Amendment scrutiny—when...

What distinguishes a rural survey that requires a tie to a GLO corner from an urban survey that doesn't have that requirement? And what does the surve...

I don't think I fully understand what that means. When does a monument become an existing monument of record? And what constitutes failing to use it? ...

A division of property is more than an opinion by the surveyor. It is the landowner who signs the plat that creates the separate tracts, and it is the...

I thought when @norman-oklahoma mentioned the Doctrine of Merger the question was answered. Unless the other lots are given an easement on to Lot 10, ...

Sell Lot 10 first with a non-exclusive easement to the County Road. Sell Lot 9 next with a non-exclusive easement to the County Road. Sell Lot 8 n...

If I had to come out of retirement and do surveying in Kansas, the first thing I would do is make a sizeable donation to the Institute for Justice, an...

Maybe 'cow' is right—"Surveyors are the dumbest..." When an attorney files a complaint, the court clerk can reject it for the wrong paper size, inco...

You are a long way from Arkansas, so I'm confused. Educate me—what does a 'county surveyor office reviewer' have to do with your practice of surveying

I agree that a surveyor is not obligated to do more than what they contracted to do. Personally, I always considered a boundary survey to be a contr...

Very true. But a surveyor never ever sets, establishes, or determines a boundary. Only the landowners or the courts have the authority to do that, whe...

Back in the day, some surveyors got rich setting pins where the client (or real estate agent) wanted. Some knew better, some didn't. Maybe things have...

      "We did not set any new monuments." What is the surveyor actually trying to say here—"This might be the boundary, but I'm...
