Thank you Jay Ferris for your program last month on Land Transfers, Golden Valley Style.
In the early 90's, when local Author, Jay Ferris walked property with brothers and area surveyors Tom and Frank Melton, they had some rollicking good times and made more than a few memories. Everyone understood where the lines were. Marks were made and calls written down. This is how surveys have traditionally been done in rural Western Carolina.
GVCC SignBut not anymore.
Today's sharp attorneys, hired by title companies with almost limitless funds, can render a traditional survey null in a court room without much ado. Jay explained that we need to be aware of how surveys have been done locally in the past, and further should protect our land and rights by hiring a licensed surveyor to take new measurements using modern equipment and to file (record) a plat at the courthouse. Most of us do not have a recorded survey on file. This can cause some serious problems when property is bought and sold. It may even be a problem when adjacent property is transferred. The solution? Get a current survey by a NC licensed surveyor BEFORE you buy or sell property.
Land plats are available, for a small fee, in the mapping department at the Rutherford County Courthouse. More mapping information is available at the Rutherford County site online. A recorded plat is not a substitute for a survey.
