That would land them in jail here. (Practicing surveying without a license.)

With good reason.

How are the corners set on each individual property?

Does everyone KNOW exactly where their property line is?

Are the legal descriptions correct and mathematically close?

How is the title on each tract when it comes to future sales? Will the title company issue title insurance when they go to close? If not, the tract sold may not be able to be financed by a legitimate lending institution.



Sometimes it's worth it to just pay the surveyor to do what he knows how to legally do. wink


So far all of the property transfers have been through quick claim deeds. We just shoot our own corners off of the pins on the original plot map. The shape and lay out of the property makes it pretty simple to do. If someone wants to pay a surveyor to do the same thing that's up to them.
If any of the property actually sells and is finaced outside the family then I'm sure it will be another issue all together.

I'll admit our circumstance up to this point isn't really typical but our county seat hasn't had any issues with it so far.
