What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi
We bought our property in 1976 and had a survey done in 1986 for a second mortgage. The original property was subdivided in 1975 before we bought it. Our deed states that one of the boundaries is a point in the west right of way line of our road. Our surveyor used that point when he surveyed in 76. Now the person who bought the subdivided land wants to use a point that is a corner fencepost which of course, in his opinion, gives him part of our land. He has had a survey done that uses that fencepost as the point. (I'm assuming that his survey is not using the deed as reference) There is no marker mentioned in either our deed or survey, just the road reference and the property on the other side of ours. Which survey will be right? What are our options on this? Thanks for any ideasWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
