[TheForge] OT: Screwed up deeds...

[Clyde Wynia]

A survey will not solve anything if the deed descriptions are wrong. If you had title insurance go back to them. Who did the deeds. Check with the attorney would did them. Check with the county registrar of deeds and see how long the mis-descriptions have been perpetuated. The county should have a plat book with each lot drawn out with the angles, lengths etc. They should also have a survey map if the lots were originally surveyed.

Something here makes no sense, to have that much error and have it perpetuated with no one catching it.

You pay to get a new survey done.  You might save a bit if you and your neighbor both get surveyed by the same guy at the same time.  In NJ a survey is done when a property is sold.  Don't know what prevails in WV.
