Estate Planning Surveys

Quick View

Who: Estate planners, families, attorneys, executors.

Why: Family disputes over property division cost $10,000-$50,000+ in legal fees. Unclear boundaries turn inheritance into litigation.

What You Get

  • Accurate property boundaries surveyed
  • Acreage calculations for fair division
  • Existing improvements and access documented
  • Survey plat for legal records (as needed)

Three siblings inherited 40 acres near Ellijay. No survey existed. Each thought they knew where to split the land. Disagreements turned into a two-year legal battle. Attorney fees: $73,000. Two siblings stopped speaking.

Another family split mountain property based on an old survey from 1967. New survey showed the lines were off by 30 feet. One heir’s cabin sat partially on another’s parcel. Mediation and property swap: $28,000 in legal costs.

Old family land rarely has clear boundaries. Deed descriptions reference trees and fences long gone.

Survey now or watch your family fight in court later.
