Title & ALTA Surveys.

When a transaction is on the line, the survey can't be the thing that holds up closing. Lakeland is the firm attorneys and title companies call when timing matters.

A title survey documents a property for a real estate transaction: boundaries, improvements, easements, rights-of-way, encroachments and the matters listed in the title commitment. An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is the national standard often required by commercial lenders and title insurers.

Real estate attorneys across Morris, Monmouth and Ocean County have relied on Lakeland for decades — in no small part because we deliver under deadline. When another firm doesn't show before a closing, clients call us.

Questions

Title & ALTA Surveys FAQ

Can you meet a closing deadline?+

It's what we're known for. We've delivered surveys next-day for time-sensitive closings, and attorneys keep us on speed-dial precisely because we show up and produce when the clock is running. Tell us the closing date up front.

What's the difference between a title survey and an ALTA survey?+

A title survey covers the boundary and improvements needed for a typical residential transaction. An ALTA/NSPS survey follows a national standard with a defined set of optional 'Table A' items, and is commonly required for commercial deals and institutional lenders. We provide both.

Will the survey show easements and encroachments?+

Yes — locating recorded easements, rights-of-way, and any encroachments crossing the line in either direction is a core part of a title survey. These are exactly the items title companies and lenders want confirmed before closing.

Do you work directly with my attorney and title company?+

Routinely. We coordinate with attorneys, title agents and lenders to deliver the survey in the form they need, referencing the title commitment, so closing isn't delayed by back-and-forth.
