We ended up having to subdivide a parcel that was being continually broken up due to expanding inheritance issues. The problem was that each parcel as it would divide had to have it's own individual access easement right of way to the only road frontage. Needless to say it started to eat up a lot of property.
The solution was to subdivide and deed our county a road right of way through the middle of the property where all future parcels could front it.
The entire outer boundary of the combined properties were surveyed along with the proposed county right of way(existing gravel driveway). After that everything can be done through the clerks office via plot maps on their computer as needed with no more physical surveying..
Through a few phone calls our county clerks office walked us through the whole process. We even had to name the subdivision for legal purposes and even got to name the "county road"(actually the county road is still just a long gravel drive way like it always was...)
We didn't need to use a lawyer. But I'm sure there are lots of circumstances that would require one that didn't apply to our situation depending on location as well as other factors(money train).
