Say there's a crack or fissure that opens up, creating new "space". Someone then fills that crack with soil making new "land". Or say the land under a fence moves. Since land ownership diagrams contain specific measurements, are they redrawn? Replaced? Accepted? Measurements ignored and features used instead (apple tree to 7th fence post)?
If my property deed says my yard is 20 metres wide, but post earthquake it's 21 because a 1 metre wide split occured in it what happens when I sell? Is accuracy thrown out the window?
- evgen 10y agoMy best guess would be that the state would claim original ownership of the new land. If you take a small coastal lot and then start building landfill out into the ocean you are going to have a hard time convincing the state that you own the property without some pre-existing contract with the appropriate regulatory bodies stating this when you started construction.
