Although land surveying is a growing tendency for most owners, it’s often overlooked as a preventative measure for protection of real estate assets.  Surveys expose encroachments onto your property or from your property onto adjacent parcels.  Encroachments can exist in the form of fences, porches, decks, pools, outbuildings, overhead wires, driveways or your dwelling itself.  The recourse for removal of these items can be time-consuming and expensive. Our attorneys are retained to research and report current easements but also to negotiate with neighboring parties the terms for granting easements for driveway, fences and other encroachments and then draft and record the necessary documentation to memorialize the terms of the agreement between parties in the public real estate records.
