The seminar is designed to give the student a better understanding of the language of legal descriptions. It gives suggestions on handling "problem" or incomplete descriptions. This Seminar is best done in a computer lab, giving students "hands-on" experience. DEED Plotter+ is used in the Seminar for illustrative purposes.

GENERAL TOPICS COVERED:
  • Discussion of terms involved with metes and bounds descriptions (bearings and distance, curves, azimuths ,etc.)
  • Understanding metes and bounds descriptions and inputs to the computer.
  • Merging multiple parcels, with both sections and metes and bounds formats.
  • Calculating areas and closure precision of individual parcels, measure overlaps or gaps.
  • Calculating net areas on multiple tracts as "keeps & exceptions"
  • Solving for one and two unknowns.
  • Dealing with poorly written or incomplete descriptions.
  • Entry of text for labeling.
  • Deed Conversion - reading descriptions directly from word processors
  • Analyze/Balance non-closing tracts
  • Drawing easements from Centerline or baseline descriptions and calculating easement areas.
  • A history of the U.S. Rectangular Survey System (Townships, Ranges & Sections )
  • Input Section descriptions
  • "Draw Tract with the Mouse" - free hand in a fence or pond, etc., or "click" around an overlap or gap.
  • Saving files for CAD &/or GIS use with .DXF formats or as a .WMF format for word processors.
  • Descriptions with "real world" X,Y coordinates and also "Lat-Lons" Latitude & Longitude descriptions.
