What happens if you have a property boundary that gets offset by a fault moving - do you own the moved land or do you own own the land that has moved into your area on a map and lose the land that moved out?
- kolla 7y agoSame thing that happens when a border defined by a river changes due to the river changing it's flow. There will be a dispute with uncertain outcome.
- alexvoda 7y agoTime for some algebra of sets? Do you only own the intersection? Do you own the union?
- pintxo 7y agoIsn't land still mostly defined by physical markers? The distances between the markers would change, and thus the property sizes.
- SubiculumCode 7y agoIf my house moved to my neighbor's yard after an earthquake...he could have it. I'm outta there. Just kidding. It is an interesting question though. I suppose the legal answer would vary by locality. It seems that any definitions derived by GPS, which normally would seem to be most accurate, would be too inflexible in this circumstance. It would seem hardly fair to get sued because you left your house in their new front yard.
