When it comes to real estate transactions, an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey is an essential tool to ensure that a property is free of encumbrances and to identify any potential issues that could impact the transaction. But what exactly is an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey, and what does it involve?
In simple terms, an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey is a comprehensive boundary survey that is prepared in compliance with a set of standards jointly prepared and adopted by the National Society of Professional Surveyors and the American Land Title Association. This survey provides a detailed depiction of the property boundaries, structures, improvements, easements, and other factors that could impact the property.
An ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey typically involves an extensive research process that includes a review of public records, title documents, and other relevant information to identify any potential issues that could impact the transaction. Once this research is complete, the surveyor will visit the property to conduct a physical survey and collect data on the property boundaries, structures, and improvements.
The surveyor will then use this data to prepare a detailed map that shows the property boundaries, structures, improvements, and other features, including easements, encroachments, and potential areas of dispute. This map is an essential tool for anyone involved in a real estate transaction, as it provides a clear understanding of the property and any potential issues that could impact the transaction.
