ALTA Land Title Survey.
An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is the most comprehensive survey in a real estate transaction. It combines a full boundary resolution with the improvements, easements, encroachments and the negotiated Table A items, prepared to a national standard that lenders, title companies and attorneys rely on to close.

ALTA Land Title Survey questions
Who decides what is included in an ALTA survey?
The core content is set by the ALTA/NSPS national standards. The optional Table A items are negotiated among buyer, lender and title company — we help scope which items your transaction actually needs.
How is an ALTA survey different from a regular boundary survey?
An ALTA survey includes a boundary resolution plus improvements, easements, encroachments and specific certification language to the parties in the transaction, prepared to the national standard the title industry requires.
