Which document is typically prepared by a licensed surveyor to confirm exact property boundaries?

• A. Deed
• B. Closing Disclosure
• C. Survey
• D. Title policy

Answer: (C)

Understanding where a property line truly lies comes down to a professional measurement. A survey is the document a licensed surveyor creates that maps the exact boundaries of a parcel, often noting easements, encroachments, and any discrepancies between the deed description and what’s physically on the land. This calibrated map gives clear, enforceable lines for ownership and for any future construction or land-use decisions.

A deed, by contrast, records the transfer of ownership, not the precise boundary lines. A Closing Disclosure lists financial terms and closing costs, not boundary information. A title policy provides insurance against defects in the property's title, rather than detailing actual boundaries.

So, the document prepared by a licensed surveyor to confirm exact property boundaries is the survey.
