Using
a combination of deed research and on-site data collection,
Marsh & Legge produces accurate determination of
property lines and easements for legal records and
establishes clear monumentation of property corners for
convenience of property owners. Boundary surveys are
invaluable when buying or selling property, subdividing land
into parcels, constructing fences and other improvements
near the edge of a property line, or resolving boundary
disputes.
Subdivision
Plats
Division
of land into parcels is a common need for many property
owners. A subdivision may consist of a tract divided between
two family members, or it may entail a large housing
development with lots numbering in the hundreds. Both
scenarios require a careful assessment of pre-existing
boundaries and proper planning in coordination with
government agencies, utility companies, and builders.
ALTA/ACSM
Land Title Surveys
Typically
prepared for commercial properties in accordance with
standards set forth by the American Land Title Association
and the American Congress on surveying and mapping. These
surveys are a comprehensive record of improvements to the
property necessary to satisfy title insurance standards.
Utility
Easements and Right-of-Way Plats
Knowing
the location of easements and rights-of-way is vitally
important for property owners who intend to add improvements
to their property. Utility companies and highway departments
maintain access rights to these portions of land, thus only
certain types of improvements are permitted. In the case of
electric and gas utilities, safety is another factor to
consider when planning improvements. Marsh & Legge
provides accurate documentation of these important property
features to help landowners conform to the appropriate
regulations and avoid violations.
