Here is a quick overview of the process:

1. Determine the purpose of the easement: An easement is a legal right to use someone else's land for a specific purpose. Before preparing an easement, you should determine the purpose of the easement and what rights it will grant.
2. Identify the parties involved: An easement involves two parties: the owner of the land (the grantor) and the person or entity who will have the right to use the land (the grantee). You should identify and contact these parties to begin the process of preparing the easement.
3. Describe the property: An easement must clearly describe the property to which it applies. This should include a detailed legal description of the property, as well as a map or diagram showing its location.
4. Draft the easement agreement: The easement agreement is a legally binding document that outlines the terms of the easement. It should include the purpose of the easement, the rights granted to the grantee, and any conditions or restrictions on the use of the land. You should work with an attorney to draft a clear and enforceable easement agreement.
5. Have the agreement reviewed and signed: Before the easement can be legally effective, it must be reviewed and signed by both the grantor and grantee. You should have the agreement reviewed by an attorney to ensure that it is legally enforceable and meets the requirements of California law.
6. Record the easement: In California, an easement must be recorded with the county recorder's office in order to be enforceable. You should file a copy of the signed and executed easement agreement with the county recorder's office in order to make it a matter of public record.

We draft plat & legal descriptions for access, aerial, avigation, beach, slope, natural support, light & air, utility, energy (solar wind), communications, view, conservation, recreational, historic preservation, drip, beach, stairways, miscellaneous easements and servitudes, implied for special use, right-of-way lines, reversions, dedications, and vacation. 

Members of the American Land Title Association have specific needs, unique to title insurance matters, when asked to insure title to land without exception as to the many matters which might be discoverable from survey and inspection, and which are not evidenced by the public records.

There are several benefits to obtaining an ALTA survey:

1. Improved accuracy: An ALTA survey is more accurate and comprehensive than a traditional boundary survey, as it includes a detailed analysis of the property and its features.
2. Enhanced due diligence: An ALTA survey provides a thorough review of the property's title, zoning, and other regulatory issues, which can help identify potential issues that may affect the property's value or use.
3. Increased security: An ALTA survey provides a clear and accurate depiction of the property's boundaries, which can help prevent disputes over property ownership and use.
4. Enhanced credibility: An ALTA survey is recognized as a reliable and comprehensive source of information about a property, which can help to increase the credibility of the property in the eyes of potential buyers or lenders.
5. Improved communication: An ALTA survey includes a detailed map of the property, as well as a written report that clearly communicates the results of the survey. This can help to improve communication between parties involved in the purchase or financing of the property.          
   

The standards for ALTA survey are preset, which allows the client the freedom to pick and choose which "Table A" items they would like to certify. ALTA Surveys are essential to any commercial real estate transaction or development of vacant land. We understand the complexities and nuances of each site. Once under contract, we require a preliminary title report or commitment of title insurance issued from a title insurance company.

 Our sole responsibility is to place the lines and corners correctly. We can fix your boundary location issues. If you feel there might be an encroachment on your property, we are capable of identifying the boundary.  

Most property disputes only affect one or two sides of the property. However, we must know where all sides of the boundary lie to show the relationship of the bearings and distances. Once the boundary is established, there are several options to monument these corners. A Corner Record or a Record of Survey are both legal documents that become part of public record. There are boundary disputes where both parties come to an agreement, and we perform a Lot Line Adjustment. These are the most economically viable options. 

 However, in these disputes we cannot tell you who owns the property. When these issues arise and cannot be resolved in an amicable fashion, the decision falls to the courts. Which causes major stress and financial hardship for both parties. 

 These are the following documents and mapping services we provide: 

• Boundary Survey
• Certificate of Compliance
• Condominium Plans
• Corner Record
• Final (Tract) Map
• Lot Line Adjustments
• Lot Mergers
• Parcel Map
• Record of Survey
• Right-of-Way Mapping
• Tentative Map
• Topographic Surveys
• Existing Conditions Exhibits

Laser scanning is a surveying technique that uses lasers to accurately measure the distance and characteristics of objects or surfaces. It is commonly used in land surveying to create highly accurate and detailed 3D models of the terrain and structures on a property.

There are several benefits to using laser scanning in land surveying:

1. Increased accuracy: Laser scanning can provide highly accurate measurements of the distance and characteristics of objects or surfaces. This can be particularly useful for complex or irregular shapes, which may be difficult to measure using traditional surveying techniques.
2. Enhanced speed: Laser scanning is faster and more efficient than traditional surveying methods, as it allows surveyors to capture large amounts of data quickly and accurately.
3. Improved safety: Laser scanning can be used to gather data from hazardous or difficult-to-access areas, which can help to improve safety for surveyors.
4. Enhanced visualization: Laser scanning creates detailed 3D models of the terrain and structures on a property, which can be useful for visualization and analysis.
5. Greater efficiency: Laser scanning can help to streamline the surveying process, as it allows surveyors to gather a large amount of data quickly and accurately. This can help to reduce the time and cost of land surveys.

One of the many benefits to our scanner is that we can cater the scan's shape, size, and density to best fit your site.  This application works well for indoor and outdoor areas. With our advanced scanning module, we can auto-classify the point cloud into different groups. This is great for building accurate surfaces of any hardscape.
