Begin Course 2: Boundary Law & Title Examination
Course 2 continues on the Weeks 5 & 6 Conference Call #3
This course is about boundary law and records research. It discusses several basic land law principles and the analysis of legal descriptions contained in deeds and other official documents that transfer interests in land. While a brief discussion is made on state boundary laws, special emphasis is spent on federal boundary law, which consists mostly of the Public Lands Survey System. The basics of that system are presented in an optional separate lesson for those who have little or no experience with the federal system. A lesson and case study on metes and bounds procedures is also presented.
