Obviously if I’m using something then it belongs to me – right? That’s not quite how it works when it comes to owning property. Regardless of use, you own what your deed says you own. This is an example where a skeet club was clearly using land that they didn’t own, as their deed did NOT include Tract 3 in it.
- Gravel road – The road came onto Tract 3 by 267.8 feet and ran almost the entire length of the property (approximately 1,000 feet). We’re not talking about a few inches here – this is clearly located onto property that the skeet club didn’t own.
- Shooting stations – A total of 5 shooting stations are located onto Tract 3. The furthest one is located onto Tract 3 by 139.3 feet.
If you’re under the impression that what you see is what you own – hopefully this example will make you think twice about that. Having a boundary survey performed is one way to find out exactly what you own. It will also show you if someone else is using your property.
