THE PURPOSE OF A
SURVEY REPORT
A picture is worth a thousand wordsexcept when it
contains so much information that no on can understand it
THE PURPOSE OF A
SURVEY REPORT
 A survey report allows the professional to fully
explain:
 What she found in the courthouse
 What she located in the field
 Where the boundary line / point is located
 A justification of her decision
 These reports are fantastic tools to EXPLAIN
and EDUCATE others about our clients
boundary and title locations  especially when
there is a a red flag raised during the survey
WHY? COLLATERAL
ATTACK!
 "At times, the surveyor must determine whether he or she is
retracing an "original survey" or a "first survey". Initially the
surveyor must determine whether the creating surveyor actually
ran the creating line and then reduced the survey to notes or the
description was created on paper and then the surveyor
subsequently placed that description on the ground.
 When a parcel or parcels are created on paper, without a survey
being conducted, and the surveyor is later requested to place one
of these paper-described parcels on the ground, this survey should
be considered the "first" survey, in that it is the first survey to be
placed on the ground after the description.
 The difference is that whereas the original survey controls, the
first survey is nothing more than an opinion by the surveyor of
where the written description should be placed. As such, it is
always open to collateral attack."
STRUCTURE OF A
SURVEY REPORT
1. Introduction / Overview
2. Preamble / What Surveyor
Was Asked to Do
3. Record Documents
4. Field Work Performed
5. Conflicts Found and Remedies
Chosen
6. References
7. Appendix
8. FAQ
FIELD WORK PERFORMED
YOU
MUST
GO
THE
FIELD!
CONFLICTS AND REMEDIES
 The law does not expect you to be right
every time. No one is perfect!
 But the concept of negligence does expect
you to follow:
 Board Acts & Rules
 State Case Law
 Industry-Standard Practices
 If you follow those three sources, the rest is
easy
ROLES IN THE LEGAL WORLD
 Attorneys present the case
 Judges hear the arguments and make a fair
decision based on previous cases
 But the neither the attorneys or judges
know about everythingso they need
EXPERTS! (Like You)
THE EXPERTS REPORT
 Cases are won and lost before the trial even
begins
 There is often lots of opinions, documents,
and motives; facts are muddied by them
all.
 So attorneys need an INDEPENDENT opinion
 from a PROFESSIONAL  to make their case
EVALUATE OTHERS WORK
 The roots of a property disputes often
happen because of:
 Ambiguous or poorly-written deeds/easements
 Conflicting surveys
 John surveys in 2014. Tim surveys in the
same line in 2015. The neighbors choose the
survey thats most advantageous to them.
 So, who gets to ULTIMATELY decide, and
how do they do it?
APPLY THE SOURCES TO THE
CURRENT ISSUE AND SOLVE THE
PROBLEM
 The primary issue is the location of Jacksons
east line that is contagious with Smith
 The Jackson property was created in 1928 and
the Smith property was created in 1933
 Browns references the first in time, first in
right doctrine of sequential conveyances
 Here, Jackson was created first so Tennessee
law awards him the hatched area on my
survey
