ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys

Involves a detailed assessment of a property’s boundaries, improvements, and relevant characteristics. This survey adheres to the standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM). It typically includes researching public records, property documents, and relevant agreements, as well as conducting fieldwork to locate property corners, easements, encroachments, and other vital elements. The survey provides information crucial for title insurance purposes, presenting a comprehensive depiction of the property’s features, potential risks, and any encumbrances that might affect ownership.

• Research property records, easements, encumbrances, and relevant legal documents.
• Locate and verify property corners, boundaries, and lines through field measurements.
• Identify improvements, structures, and utilities within and adjacent to the surveyed area.
• Map topographic features, including contour lines and elevation points.
• Determine and document encroachments, discrepancies, and potential issues affecting property rights.
• Prepare a comprehensive survey plat complying with the ALTA/ACSM standards and depicting all relevant information.

This thorough process results in a detailed survey report that aids in property transactions, real estate development, and land ownership matters, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the property’s boundaries, features, and potential limitations.
