Title Nerds Season 2, Episode 3 (Podcast)

Surveyor Keith Ludwig, PLS was the special guest for this episode of Title Nerds, in which he discussed with co-hosts Michael R. O'Donnell and Bethany A. Abele his experience of over 42 years in the industry. With a specialty in researching ancient deeds and surveys, Keith shared some of the more fascinating matters he has encountered while conducting land surveys, including serving as a surveyor for a defendant in Atlantic County where title had gone back and forth between the same two families numerous times over 200 years.He noted that a major misconception about surveyors is that it is their responsibility to determine if a particular easement or covenant affects the property in question. That is not true.The surveyor can only state where the easement/covenant lies physically, but cannot advise whether it affects the property; that is the responsibility of the attorney to determine.
