ALTA/NSPS question

I have been asked by a client to show the outline of a "proposed" parcel that may be cut out of the parcel which is the subject of a ALTA/NSPS survey. Of course, the "proposed" parcel is not yet of record, nor has there been any access way designated for it should it be created. Can I do that and still be in compliance with the 2016 ALTA/NSPS standards?

Answer:
I see no problem with showing proposed parcels, easements, etc. as long as it is clear on the face of the survey that it is not an existing parcel, easement, etc. Oftentimes, this sort of thing is going to happen at closing, so the parcel/easement does not exist yet, but it may as part of the transaction, so they need to see it.
