I
have a client who wants me to prepare an ALTA survey for an easement area. Not
the underlying parcel that the easement encumbers, but for the easement area
itself. Theoretically it seems that since these are standards controlling the
survey, they could be applied in principle to any survey. But I am struggling
with how the title report would be prepared/connected to the survey since an
easement is not a title ownership of property. Any thoughts? And would anything
be different if the request was for a Lease area?
Answer:
Yes,
it is perfectly fine to provide this type of survey. It isn’t certain what the
title work will look like, but you just go with what is presented, and conduct
your work accordingly.
The
2016 draft standards already include 'easements' as one of those odd types of
parcels that a surveyor might be asked to survey.
