[QUOTE="MUP, post: 5787136, member: 4380"] That's the old deed format that our original surveyor had to go on. Fortunately the old corners, for the most part, were rocks placed with a pointed side up. One I remember was a "scaly bark hickory tree", and that tree was long gone, but the remnants did remain enough to know it had been there. A good surveyor will check with all the deeds that surround the property they are working on, and if there is any question about a corner or a line they will discuss it with that landowner and the landowner they're working for to attempt to find a solution. I had such an issue on my side of the family property when we were having it surveyed. The discrepancy was 173 ft at one corner. I told the other landowner that I would be good with splitting the difference to get a good line in common, but before we could move forward, he served me with papers, suing me for that 173 foot. Long story longer, it didn't make it thru the first attorney client meeting. That guy had an original 34 ac deed that had "magically" become 44 ac, and what do you know, that by taking my corner out to the 173 ft not only gave him his original 34 ac, but also completed my survey as called on the deed. :) [/QUOTE]
