Legal And Land Surveys
A land survey is an invaluable asset for anyone concerned with their property rights, and an essential tool for anyone transferring property, refinancing or planning any property improvements. A licensed land surveyor will thoroughly research both the property’s legal documentation and field evidence. The property boundary will be monumented, and a Certificate of Survey will be drafted to clearly and accurately identify the property and associated rights.
