Post: Lawsuit against land surveyor

Posted by Maria on 4/19/07
I have a question about whether I can sue or not. The property next to mine is 10 acres and was subdivided 2 years ago. When the surveyor surveyed the land the description contained a typo giving the property owner 100 feet of my property. The only reason I found out about this was because I am refinancing and the title company found the error after doing the title search. Now, the surveyor has admitted that there was an error and has corrected the problem, but the owner is an older woman and seems to have trust issues and doesn't want to sign the quit claim deed. This is causing me to have to hire an attorney to do a quiet title and I'm also having to pay money to extend my interest rate. Would suing the surveyor be an option? I would like to recoop the money that I'm having to spend and also all the time I've spent having to deal with this. What are my options? Thank you.
