How do you resolve boundary disputes using survey evidence?

Answer

Boundary dispute resolution: collect all documentary evidence - original survey records, title deeds, revenue maps, and previous boundary marks. Field survey identifies existing boundary features, occupation lines, and any surviving original marks. Mathematical analysis compares deed dimensions with ground measurements. Retracement follows original surveyor's footsteps using described ties and references. Senior rights doctrine - original monuments control over courses and distances. Acquiescence and adverse possession may modify legal boundary. Report documents methodology, evidence analysis, and professional opinion on boundary location. May require court testimony explaining technical findings.
