  23. Locus Chain of Title for our office • 1899 - Present: Portland • 1871 - 1899: Deering • 1814 - 1871: Westbrook • Pre – 1814: Falmouth • From 1814 – 1820 Westbrook was part of Massachusetts • Prior to 1760 records would be located in York County. • Cumberland County was not established until November 1, 1760. Also, both counties were still within the boundaries of Massachusetts until 1820.

  24. Significant Dates in Cumberland County History • Portland was part of Falmouth until 1786. • Yarmouth was part of North Yarmouth until 1849. • Scarborough - July 14, 1658 • Falmouth - November 12, 1718 • North Yarmouth - 1732 • Brunswick - January 26, 1739 • Harpswell - January 25, 1758 • Cumberland County - November 1, 1760 • Lincoln County - November 1, 1760 • Windham - June 12, 1762 • Gorham - October 30, 1764 • Cape Elizabeth - November 1, 1765

  25. Boundary SurveysField Recon & Instrument Location • Using the deed sketch, we field locate all applicable boundary evidence, improvements, and lines of occupation (tree lines, fences, stone walls). • Not uncommon to find occupation lines and record lines to be in different locations.

  26. Boundary SurveysData Entry/Office Computations • Review, validate, and verify data for mathematical accuracy • Can now determine acreage, encroachments, boundary corner locations, easements, rights of way, etc. • Determine deed excess and deficiency • We create our professional opinion

  27. Boundary SurveysPreparation of Final Plan • Depicts all rendered services, final findings, and recommendations. • Should hold up to professional scrutiny in a discussion or dispute. • Product is prepared in compliance with State requirements.

  28. Boundary SurveysMark Property Corners • Return to site to mark boundary corners and lines with steel rebar and survey caps. • Provides notice to abutters and future surveyors that the parcel was formally surveyed. • Other monuments can be placed as requested.

  29. Summary of Key Points • Mortgage Loan Inspections are only to be used to determine investment risk in mortgage loan transactions. • Any determinations made based on accurate measuring of the land would require a formal land survey. • Permits made for development projects should never be based on an Mortgage Loan Inspection Plan.
