Decatur Commercial ALTA ACSM Land Title Survey

Decatur Commercial ALTA ACSM Land Title Survey

ALTA and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) have jointly developed a set of land surveying standards, with the goal of promoting uniformity and standards in land survey information.

Decatur ALTA ACSM Land Title Survey is a boundary survey prepared to a set of minimum standards that have been jointly prepared and adopted by the ALTA/ACSM. Also an ALTA survey shows improvements, easements, rights-of-way, and other elements impacting the ownership of land. Decatur ALTA ACSM Land Title Survey is often prepared for commercial properties, as it will provide the title company with the information required to insure the title to the land and improvements to the high degree of accuracy that a commercial development may require. In addition to the minimum standards set forth, a table of optional elements is included in the ALTA/ACSM standards. A careful review of the elements from the optional “Table A” is helpful in delineating a clear scope of the land surveyor’s services.

A current title commitment is required before an ALTA ACSM Land Title Survey can be completed in Decatur . The surveyor will refer to the title commitment for the legal description of the property and for the legal description of any encumbrances (exceptions). Areas of ownership, improvements and encumbrances will be shown graphically. If the survey discovers any encroachments, they should be shown graphically or indicate that it can not be plotted, a note indicating the nature of the encroachment may also be added.

The certification language of the Decatur Commercial ALTA ACSM Land Title Survey should include the names of the affected parties, including as appropriate the buyer, seller, title company, insurance company and lender. The surveyor must work in close association with the title insurance company, as the surveyor and the title company are relying on each others work to show the matters affecting the ownership of the land and improvements in a comprehensive manner.

An ALTA ACSM Land Title Survey has especially stringent requirements as developed by a joint effort of the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping. The ALTA standards are a nationwide uniform set of standards. Decatur Alta survey is specifically designed to satisfy the needs of lenders, corporations and title companies when dealing with valuable commercial and industrial properties.
