For homeowners that are having problems with neighbors.This is
some good advice. I'm having problems with my neighbor who had taken approximately a 166 feet of my chain link fence, which was my property. And he put up a 6 foot wooden fence on my property. I had to get my property surveyed because of this. And now I have to take him to court to sue him because of this. Without a doubt, get your property survey so there's no questions about it.

My dad showed me how to use a compass to find the metal pins that mark boundaries. A neighbor was trying to file a quit claim deed on property that was my dad's. When my dad confronted the neighbor, he said that he would buy it or go to court and litigate until my dad lost the property. My dad sold it to him. This neighbor was a rich physician with a judge for a father-in-law. I cut part of my drive way out because I discovered that it was about a foot over onto my neighbor's lawn. He didn't know about it, but I didn't want to be a thief just because I could have probably legally claimed due to the decades of the drive way being there. I learned the importance of having a survey.

GIS is an acronym for "Get it Surveyed". Read the disclaimer on the GIS info. provided - the provider generally has no liability to you. Remember your property line is also shared by your neighbor.

husband speaking age 81 - property lines in the Philippines - my wife bought a large lot years ago that we thought we were going to retire on. Put our home
in the middle and have several hundred feet from all edges and neighbors. She decides to put up a temporary fence. One city road went up the right side and dead
ended at the corner of our lot. Another neighbor built a PH home ( not to be confused with a typical U.S. home ) at the corner of the far left top corner. A fence post
was going in at the right corner and he comes running down, you can't do that, I won't be able to get to my house. We had to get a survey done, turns out at the top of
our lot, my wife's mother owned the top lot so the survey company told the land locked owner, better be nice because my wife could totally close your little free driveway
at the back of her property. You MUST have a Mother Title to any property before you do anything or be sorry later. ( for another example, watch What the Hales youtube
couple and the saga of the 70 acres they bought in Otter Creek, Fla.) Shows what can happen and what it can cost you. This was great ' free ' information, thank you.

Wow are you correct about some counties are not accurate about property lines. You have to keep your own records.

7:01 good advice. But be aware, a boundary survey for even a small lot can be $3k or more. And a large parcel will be tens of thousands of dollars. It's your biggest monetary investment - it might be worth spending the money to know what you're actually buying.

Jerry, your videos are ALWAYS well done. Perhaps you'd consider a vid on the "rights of adverse possession"? It has always struck me as unjust to allow someone to keep property that was paid for by someone else simply by having built something on it for X years.

When I bought my house, there were three encorachments on my property; two fences and about a foot of driveway paving. When contractors showed up to work on them, I introduced myself, let them know that they had no permit to work on my land, and asked if they would mind just stopping at the property line. Now there's just one fence left, and the other two fixtures are politely behind the line where they belong. But now my plat map is wrong, and it's going to be someone else's problem to pay $500 to fix that.

The deed can be extremely helpful. Because so often the plot is not a nice square or rectangle. As soon as it follows a Creek.Or a angle, You need that deed to walk off exact dimensions

I just paid $1200 to have my wooded 1/4 acre lot surveyed. In the back of my lot, I found an old worn out fence just about on top of my property line. Further down where there is no fence, there is a bunch of trash and several tires on my side of the property. Looks like some trash from the pile of trash in the back of my neighbor’s lot blew on my side. As soon as I run a line to my corner posts in the back, I will kindly put their trash back in their yard.

How do they measure a curved area. like my front says 49ft front but the rear is straight line . Do they measure it along the curve itself or another way? My property has water and electric running underground in front so using a metal detector may not work.

The only legal, court tested, way to determine property lines is by a licensed surveyor. The best of neighbors become enemies over property lines. SPEND THE MONEY!!! for a surveyor.

You should create a video about encroachments. In the video cover how to identify them and how to revolve them.

A Surveyor can tell you what the Deed says you own. Only the Judge can tell you what is your property. This info from an old guy licensed to do Land Surveying in California. CA is surveyed under the U.S. Public Lands standards. Good luck in front of the Judge in States like Texas that Metes and bounds is the method. Describing a piece of land's boundaries is done using natural and artificial landmarks.

This is illegal in most states. It’s not just your property line it’s also the adjoiners so if you like breaking the law, go for it and hope any improvements based on this DIY method doesn’t land you in court.

Talk about counties being a mess with deeds sometimes, we had a cemetery back home in Newcomerstown, Ohio, at Kings Church, that was a real mess, the graves were on top of each other, and no one kept very good records for decades there🫤
