It all depends on:

• Property size
• Type of survey being done
• Purpose of the survey
• Number/size/improvements on the property
• Property terrain

Upon purchasing land, you receive a deed that outlines your property rights. Improvements upon the land may not always comply with the deed. Depending on the situation, other people could even claim rights to the property additions. Only a land surveyor can produce a boundary survey that legally locates your boundaries.

Easements enable one party to use another party's land for a specific reason. They are created upon an agreement between the parties.

However, if there is an easement on your property, there are likely restrictions on how you can use:

• Your property deed
• Any survey documents related to the landscape
• Ownership history
• Information about disagreements over land boundaries

Try to talk with the surveyor who did the work. If you are unable to, hire your own surveyor to locate the correct area and prepare a legal description. An attorney can prepare a document for both parties to sign.

If you have a problem with the property on your land, you should talk to an attorney who has experience with real-estate disputes.

Otherwise, you can ask an attorney about creating an easement, which protects your land title while also allowing the property to remain in place.

The surveyor should provide you with a property map. That map should be filed in local county records for public viewing/future copies. If a new parcel is added to the map, the surveyor should give you a written description for the updated deed.
