is a computerized service designed to help you visualize and audit land ownership boundaries based on "metes and bounds" property descriptions. This specialized word description is usually found in Property Deeds but it also can be found in Mortgage Papers, Surveyor's Sketches, Subdivision Plats, Microfilm Records and sometimes in Wills. You can even generate your own "metes and bounds" text for our analysis, but if you do, be careful to specify each "course" in terms of distance, bearing, and curvature.
Have you ever settled on the wrong lot? Have you had any property line disputes lately? How about encroachments like building a fence or garage on your neighbor's land? Ever searched for your great, great, great grandfather's property, its configuration and location? Okay, so maybe you are just curious about what the surveyor's notation in your deed means but can't interpret it. Well, it is supposed to describe exactly the land you bought. You may have been given a drawing of your lot. But does it accurately reflect what is in your deed? LandPrints can tell you!***
Once we receive your land description, LandPrints will process it and send you a one-page plot and a data page. They will contain the Land Shape and Orientation, the Calculated Surface Area, the Closure Accuracy, the Input Data used for the calculations, and an optional Error Analysis. This will provide you with enough information to see the shape of your lot and assess the quality of the "metes and bounds" description you provided. If our analysis implies any encumbrances or disputes, you should seek resolution through normal legal channels. So our service is pretty simple. You give LandPrints the metes and bounds data, then we apply the mathematics, make the calculations, and present the results to you for a very modest fee.
If you live in that part of the United States West of the "Colonies", your land may be specified using the "Rectangular Survey System". It is also called the "Public Land Survey System" (PLSS). LandPrints can provide the same service described above and also locate property. Just think how much fun you will have discovering land that has been lost for years, or in simply defining your own property.
