Boundary determination
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 surveyor, which, once published in the Quebec land register, becomes legally binding against third parties.
Professionalism and clear markers to avoid disputes
Legal insurance
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 if the neighbours can agree. 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.
