Check-In begins at 7:30 am and class concludes at 4:30 pm.  (Lunch is included.)

Topics: 

  • "Easements and Easement Law"  by John Logsdon, Esq.

In this seminar, we will start with the definitions of terms associated with the types of easements most commonly encountered by land surveyors and distinguish easements from profits. We will then discuss the methods of creating and acquiring easements, including express easements, implied easements, easements by dedication, prescriptive easements, easements by condemnation, public roads and the statutory cartway proceeding. We will cover the scope and use of easements, and conclude with the methods of terminating easements. Common issues involving easements will be illustrated using the facts from recent court cases. Estimated time: 3.0 hours.

  • "My Measurements are Better than Yours"  by Chad Howard
  • "Encroachments on Real Property - A Surveyor's Perspective"  by Dean Exline
