Who we work with
Surveying for Attorneys.
Attorneys rely on surveyors for precise written descriptions, exhibits that match them, and factual boundary evidence — whether the matter is a transaction, an easement, or a dispute where the location of a line is the question.
What attorneys typically need
- Legal descriptions and matching plat exhibits for recording
- Boundary surveys that document evidence neutrally for disputes
- Lot line adjustments and easement documents
- Careful mapping of the conditions on the ground
When to involve KEG
- When a document to be recorded needs an accurate legal description
- When a matter turns on where a boundary or encroachment actually falls
- When parcels must be reconfigured or an easement created
- Early enough that fieldwork can inform the strategy
What to have ready
- The deeds, record documents and any prior surveys
- The specific question or relief at issue
- The parcels and parties involved
- Any filing or recording deadlines
Coordination
- The title company on descriptions and recording
- The surveyor on what the record shows versus the ground
- Adjoining parties where a process formally requires it
Services attorneys ask for most
Attorneys — common questions
Can you write a legal description from an old deed without a survey?
Sometimes, if the record is clean. But when the record is ambiguous or conflicts with the ground, fieldwork is the only way to produce a description that will hold up.
What if a survey shows an improvement is over the line?
We document what we find, factually and neutrally. The survey gives your client a reliable, evidence-based starting point for whatever comes next.
Do both owners have to agree to a lot line adjustment?
Yes. A lot line adjustment between two owners is a voluntary process; both sign the application and the recorded documents.
