WHY YOU SHOULD ENLIST A PROFESSIONAL PROPERTY SURVEYOR
FOR YOUR REAL ESTATE BOUNDARY DISPUTE
Imagine if you’d spent years, or decades even, mowing your lawn along certain boundaries, only to have your neighbor build a fence that encroaches on the land you thought was yours. Disputes over property boundaries are more common than you think. So, if you ever find yourself in the middle of a property survey dispute, you’ll likely need the help of an experienced professional property surveyor. In short, the job of a professional property surveyor is to locate the exact boundary lines of a piece of property. To do this, the first step surveyors take is to research the current property deed, which describes the locations and boundaries of the property. Then they’ll perform a title search, which will reveal the ownership history and how it was transferred from one owner to the next. Finally, the surveyor will go on-site and sketch the property and its boundaries, which they will include in their evidence. While that process is an area of expertise in and of itself, the professional property surveyor responsible for determining the boundaries of your property in a dispute will need to have one other important quality: They can’t be afraid to testify to their findings in court. Real estate boundary lawsuits can get pretty heated, considering both parties probably tried other means of determining their property lines before taking their case to trial. A good surveyor’s opinion can change the tide of the case, which is enough pressure to make some surveyors shy away from showing up in court. If you’ve gone to the trouble of hiring a surveyor, you don’t want them to back down and not testify to their findings in court. At Littlejohn Law, our experienced legal team can help you with any real estate boundary dispute you might have and get you connected with a surveyor who is ready to testify in court. So, if your neighbor refuses to stop building a fence where you mow your lawn, give us a call today at (740) 314-4829.
