Issues with Surveys

Boundary Disputes - Disagreements over property lines or encroachments on neighboring land.

Easement Discrepancies - Conflicts involving access rights, utility easements, or shared usage agreements.

Survey Errors - Mistakes in measurements, mapping, or documentation by surveyors.

Unrecorded Changes - Modifications to property boundaries not reflected in official records.

Zoning and Compliance Issues - Discrepancies between survey results and zoning requirements or land use regulations.

Resolving survey issues involves navigating legal and regulatory frameworks to protect property rights. Key considerations include:

Accuracy and Professional Standards - Surveys must adhere to professional standards and accuracy requirements to ensure validity.

Title Insurance - Policies may provide coverage for certain survey-related disputes or errors.

Easement Enforcement - Legal agreements regarding easements must be clearly defined and enforced to prevent conflicts.

Regulatory Compliance - Surveys must align with municipal zoning laws, land use regulations, and building codes.

Resolving survey issues can present several challenges, such as:

Discrepancies in Records - Conflicting information between historical surveys and current findings.

Costly Litigation - Legal proceedings to resolve disputes can be time-consuming and expensive.
