[TheForge] OT: Screwed up deeds...

[Andrew Vida]

So, I have this neat plotting software.  I plot the deed calls and 
discover there are errors.  Worse yet, I plot one of the neighbor's deed 
and the calls calculate her 5 acre parcel at 10.32 acres.  That is not a 
mildly screwed up deed but a fairly monumental case.  The common 
boundaries between us have notably wide variances in azimuth angles and 
lengths.  Azimuths are off by more than 5* and one common border is 
called a good 200 feet shorter on the neighbor's deed, yet I know mine 
are right because I went and measured everything.  And one of the 
corners plots only about 100' from our house, well above one of our 
fence lines and hundreds of feet past the outer fence line.

My question is this: how does one get a deed corrected and how does one 
get one's neighbor to correct theirs as well?  I am in no humor for 
having problems with the deed, especially if time comes to sell. 
Granted most people probably do not examine the deed closely, but if one 
does I would think they would run for the hills in such a case as this.

On other fronts, that damned fox came up on the back porch and ate the 
setting hen.  Time to kill the fox.  Luckily for me I have access to an 
AR in 300 Whisper with a silencer and an IR gunsight.  Little miss fox 
will be eating lead for her last meal.  My wife is going to be very 
upset when she finds her favorite hen is gone.

Anyhow, thanks for any information you may have.
