SPEAKER: JEFF LUCAS
The two most important documents relative to the ownership of property may be the Title Insurance Policy and the Boundary Survey. But what do these documents actually do for the property owner? What does the title policy actually cover and what doesn’t it cover? Does the survey of the property create any assurances for the landowner? What is the role of the ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey? These documents and other related matters will be discussed in order to answer these and other important questions.
OBJECTIVES: To enhance professional competency and improve practitioner’s knowledge of the law as it relates to the practice of land surveying.
Rights and Responsibilities in the Lands of Others: The Effects of Easements on Surveyors' Work
November 14, 2025
9:00 AM - 11:40 AM (EST)
3 hour credit.
Registration Fee: $99.00
SPEAKER: Wendy Lathrop
Easements are rights given to one party to use the land of someone else. Both sides have certain rights to be protected as well as responsibilities to preserve the existence and usefulness of the easement. The Land Surveyor is often asked to determine the location of easement rights on the ground, based upon a written description, but sometimes an inspection of the property reveals uses not publicly recorded. What makes an easement an easement, when does an easement cease to exist, and how do easement rights affect land use? What is the Land Surveyor's responsibility in reporting recorded or unrecorded land use?
Discussion will include the definition of an easement, creation and termination of easements, dominant and servient estates, and a sampling of pertinent state statutes and case law.
