ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys An ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey is a boundary survey prepared to a set of minimum standards that have been jointly prepared and adopted by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors, a member orginzation of the American Congress of Surveying & Mapping. An ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey shows improvements, easements, right-of-ways and other elements impacting the ownership of land. An ALTA Survey is often prepared for commercial properties, as it will provide the title company with the information required to insure the title to the land and improvements to the high degree that a commercial development may require. In addition to the minimum standards set forth, a table of optional elements is included in the ALTA/ACSM standards. A careful review of the elements from the optional "Table A" is helpful in delineating a clear scope of the Land Surveyor's services. A current title commitment is required before an ALTA Survey can be completed. The surveyor will refer to the title commitment for the legal description of the property and for the legal description of any encumbrances (exceptions). Areas of ownership, improvements and encumbrances will be shown graphically, and a note indicating the nature of the encroachment may also be added. The certification language of the ALTA Survey should include the names of the affected parties, including as appropriate the buyer, seller, title company, and lender. The surveyor must work in close association with the title insurance company, as the surveyor and the title company are relying on each others work to show the matters affecting the ownership of the land and improvements in a comprehensive manner.
