When planning to sell your property, you’re going to need a few preparations first. You will need to find the title for the property, verify property boundaries, and more. An ALTA (American Land Title Association) survey can help you with this. Here are a few ways to prepare for an ALTA survey to help with any upcoming property transactions.
- Schedule the survey: The first step to preparing for your property transaction will be scheduling the ALTA survey. This will check that you do own the current title to the property, verify boundaries, and map the property.
- Gather documents: To prepare for the ALTA survey, you will want to gather up all documents concerning your property that you have available. This might include documentation of additions to your property over time, documentation of ownership, and more. Having these documents readily available can ease the process of surveying so you can have the results sooner. If you can’t find these documents, the surveying company can typically find them and all other documents and details they need for the survey with extensive research.
- Await the report: Upon the completion of the ALTA survey, you will be given a comprehensive report of the findings along with a map of the details of the land. This report and map will be important for any property transactions and legal purposes.
