Description
Reading a survey or plan — bearings, distances, monuments, pins, acreage, rights-of-way, easements and other common notations.
· Deeded acreage vs. surveyed acreage — why a tax card or deed may say 5 acres but a survey produces a different number, and how agents should handle that discrepancy.
· Maine's old deeds and boundary descriptions — interpreting descriptions involving stone walls, old roads, iron pipes, trees, shorelines and neighboring owners who may no longer own the property.
