Boundary surveys can involve the running of a property limit that has never been surveyed or agreed upon, or retracing the historical location of a boundary, the position of which is unknown. Many of the 100 acre lots on Manitoulin Island have never had any kind of survey work done since the mid 1800's to look into the locations of the limits and hiring a Professional Land Surveyor will ensure that a landowner does not come up short agreeing to a rudimentary line set with a compass or a handheld GPS. Case law in Ontario will frequently side with a line that was agreed upon at some point in time even if one of the owners ends up with significantly less property than their deed, or the original Township Survey, indicates. A well known case in Tehkummah Township resulted in an owner having less than 400 feet of frontage on a lot that was intended to have 1320 feet due to an uninformed agreement over an erratic fence. |
