Summary: Should you find yourself in court defending your map of survey or your opinion on the location of the property boundaries, what are the important issues to know and understand to make a boundary determination that will win in court? What are the evidence standards that will be applied, the standard of care for professional surveyors in court, and what is the criterion for boundary determinations? What are the appropriate boundary law principles and how are they applied to a boundary determination? Ultimately, much like a doctor or a lawyer, the retracement surveyor renders a professional opinion on where property boundaries are located. How can the surveyor know if that opinion is legally sound? This course is a study of boundary retracement theory with real-world case studies directly from Alabama case law to reinforce the theoretical concepts discussed.
