Figuring out where your boundary is seems like the kind of thing that should be simple. You know where your property ends and where your neighbor’s begins, so what else is there to know? The truth is it’s actually a complicated process. Often, boundary services require a Professional Land Surveyor. Before they put their signature on the final map, they have to supervise the project and give the map a state-authorized seal. All of this isn’t negotiable; by the way, it’s the law.
Establishing (or re-establishing) property lines is best done quickly and professionally. Groups like Chris Nelson Associates have the experience that can make a complicated, difficult process easy. First, they consult with the client, to figure out exactly what the client wants or needs out of the survey process. Then, the research begins. By researching the title of your property as well as the surrounding properties, boundary services are able to find the original property line. This is especially helpful if it’s been blurred by time, plant growth, buildings, or anything else. A thorough inspection of the field is followed by collecting the evidence and intricate, detailed measurements. Then, they take all the information they’ve found, and compare it to that original title research. From there, they can determine the genuine, official boundary lines. If the property corners are somehow malformed, they can reset them to their proper, correct place. Then, and only then, do they prepare the final Corner Record or Record of Survey.
If you’ve had a property for a long time, at one point or another, you’ve probably thought that the boundary lines used to be different. Often, you’re right about this. Boundary services can help to put the boundaries exactly to where they used to be. Documents like these can come in very hand if you ever suspect that your neighbor has begun using part of your land. When that happens, the fact is that you want to confront them quickly.
