Forensic
Procedures for Boundary and Title Investigation
Application of Forensic
Investigative Techniques in the Field of Land Boundary Retracement
Learn to be a good investigator
and a successful retracement surveyor. In the era of CSI, forensic
science has taken on an unaccustomed glamour. Forensic science plays
as crucial a role in the field of land surveying and title
investigation as it does in flesh-and-blood criminology. Land
location, the stability of property lines, and the sanctity of title
documents are of utmost interest to the legal system in general, and
the court system in particular. This is the first book to present
the application of investigative forensic techniques to the field of
land boundary retracement. Covering basic logic, document research,
and the interpretation of physical evidence on site, it's an
indispensable guide for surveyors faced with a difficult retracement
having little or faulty evidence. |

Interpreting Land Records
Simplifies the
Process of Interpreting Land Records and Property Boundary
Retracement
The difficult task of boundary
retracement begins with three substantial steps: recovering land
records, determining the significance of those records, and applying
the findings to conditions on the ground. Interpreting Land
Records thoroughly details everything surveyors need to know to
formulate sound, defendable opinions, including how courts interpret
ambiguous words and conflicts between words in documents, and
between those words and items outside the documents. Packed with
illustrative case examples accompanied by descriptions of how a
retracement was performed, what the problems were, and how the
surveyor resolved them |

Understanding &
Negotiating Construction Contracts
Understand All Aspects of
Creating & Negotiating Construction Contracts
Construction is a complex business. Each project
has its own unique physical and commercial
considerations. Since there’s no such thing as a
“standard” or “typical” construction project,
construction contracts should also not be
considered standard. The contractor must
carefully manage both in order to have a
successful outcome and protect the company’s
interests and assets. |
