Boundary Disputes Between Adjoining Land Owners: Resolutions, Practices & Procedures

Boundary Disputes Between Adjoining Land Owners: Resolutions, Practices & Procedures

1 hr. Online Course

Level: Fundamental

Item#: RV-10734AW

SME: Patrick C. Garner, P.L.S., Wetland Scientist

This course will focus on boundary disputes between adjoining land owners. Such conflicts are not uncommon, and the land surveyor often plays a key role in resolving them. As a licensed professional, the surveyor is viewed as a neutral party, and able to uphold the principle that boundary surveying is a property line between two parties, and not solely the line determining property of the surveyor’s client. As such, the public has the expectation that resolution will be both correct and honorable. This course will examine protocols for the professional to follow when encountering disputes between abutters.
Course Objectives
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Conduct thorough deed research for all effected properties.
  • Introduce yourself as a professional to all parties.
  • Thoroughly document your findings and field work.
  • Demystify your technical procedures for the layman.
  • Maintain a professional demeanor and appearance.
  • Think like a detective.
