When it comes to boundary law and retracement land surveying, Weber v. Kroeger is a case of common sense, says columnist Jeffery N. Lucas, JD, PLS, Esq.
Finding where a property boundary line has become established on the ground requires gathering the best available evidence that the reasonably prudent surveyor would find, evaluating that evidence, and then rendering a well-reasoned opinion on the factual question of location.
A discussion on social media on the subject of an easement demonstrated how little people understand property rights and the value of the services of a licensed surveyor.
Surveying is a practice. It takes a bit of patience and quite a bit of time to be a skilled professional, but if you are always striving to learn more, you will get there.
There is a long line of footsteps to follow to protect private property rights, personal wealth, and the health, safety, and well-being of those in the path of the project.
When a boundary dispute arises, the problem can either be resolved amicably or by adjudication, depending on the relationship between the adjoiners. In some instances, as in the case of the boundary dispute between Maryland and Pennsylvania, the dispute escalates to violence.
Those who are heavily invested in a boundary dispute are passionate for many reasons and mistakenly assume that their surveyor of choice will share in and vigorously defend those same passions.
