Boundary determination
Professionalism and clear markers to avoid disputes
The purpose of boundary determination is to permanently and irrevocably establish the boundary between two adjoining plots of land through a boundary report and the placement of survey markers. This process is formalized by an authenticated deed executed by a land surveyor, which, once published in the Quebec land register, becomes binding on third parties.
Legal assurance
Unlike staking, which is a unilateral operation for the benefit of the owner who requests it and which could be contested, boundary determination is a process that provides legal assurance of a property boundary. Boundary determination is generally chosen in cases of conflict between owners or to clarify uncertain titles once and for all.
Several stakeholders
Boundary determination involves all the neighbouring owners of a property boundary. It can be conducted amicably where relations between neighbours are good or if they can come to an agreement. Legal boundary determination is carried out when the parties do not agree and a judge is tasked with deciding on the position of the separating boundaries.
Eliminating doubt
Whether boundary determination is amicable or legal, Ecce Terra's professionals can remove any uncertainty with regard to titles, cadastral plans, or marks of occupation to properly demarcate properties.
