Boundary issues and Surveyor

[harm_less]

There are numerous historical factors that have a long lasting effect on boundary definitions. For example any significant earthquake will result in limitations being put on the certificates of title of effected properties. Like, often older, land parcels that have never progressed beyond lines on an ancient survey map, and never actually physically pegged, there is a legal survey process that must be conducted in order to (re) establish the physical location of that property's boundaries and often it can be many decades before the property gains 'guaranteed title'.
