EVIDENCE AND PROCEDURES FOR BOUNDARY LOCATION

THE UPDATED CLASSIC GUIDE TO LAND BOUNDARY LAW AND EVIDENCE DISCOVERY

The revised Seventh Edition of Evidence and Procedures for Boundary Location serves as the seminal guide to the principles and concepts of land boundary law and evidence for accurately determining boundaries. Written by a team of noted authorities on the subject, the book presents the proven methods for the rediscovery of real property boundaries. Grounded in historical documentation, field investigation, and recreation of the original surveying methodology, the book contains the appropriate and legally defensible tools needed for the re-establishment of land boundaries.

Thoroughly revised and updated, the classic text contains fresh examples of case law, the most recent developments in forensic investigation in the discovery of obscured evidence, as well as a new chapter on emerging technology used in boundary surveying. Designed for use by both working surveyors and aspiring professionals studying for the Fundamentals of Land Surveying licensure exam, this important book:
* Has been the leading guide to land boundary law and evidence for nearly 60 years
* Contains new case law examples and exhibits
* Offers expanded coverage on the use of forensic investigative techniques
* Presents a new chapter on the most recent surveying technology

Written for practicing surveyors and students, the updated Seventh Edition of Evidence and Procedures for Boundary Location continues to offer an authoritative guide to the principles, laws, and latest developments in the field.
