Dividing Family Land: How Property Division Surveys Simplify the Process

Dividing family property can be an emotional and complex process. Whether it’s due to inheritance, a sale, or simply a decision to split the land, dividing property is often necessary to ensure that each family member gets their fair share. But without the proper surveys, this process can become legally complicated and lead to future disputes. That’s where a professional

property division survey comes into play.

At Midpoint Surveying and Mapping, we specialize in family division surveys that help families divide inherited land or family properties accurately and legally. With the help of our expert surveyors, you can ensure that the division of your property follows all local regulations, protects each individual’s share, and sets clear boundaries for future use.


What is a Property Division Survey?

A property division survey is a detailed land survey conducted to establish precise boundaries and split land into portions. It is commonly used when a piece of family land needs to be divided between heirs, sold, or divided for other legal reasons. This survey ensures that each new boundary is clearly marked and compliant with zoning laws, avoiding future legal issues or disputes between family members.

When dividing family land, the survey will:

🔹Identify existing property boundaries

– Accurate mapping of the land’s boundaries to clearly define how the land will be split.


🔹Mark out individual sections

– Dividing the land according to the legal agreement between family members.


🔹Establish legally recognized boundaries

– Ensuring that the division of the property is enforceable and protected by law.


🔹Provide a legal record

– The survey serves as proof of division and can be used in court or for property transactions.


How Does a Family Division Survey Work?

At Midpoint Surveying and Mapping, we follow a clear and thorough process to ensure the accurate division of your family property.


1️⃣ Initial Consultation and Planning
- We meet with family members to understand their goals and how the property needs to be divided.

2️⃣ Site Survey & Boundary Mapping

- Our surveyors use advanced tools, including GPS technology and total stations, to accurately measure and map out the land.

- We ensure all property boundaries are clearly marked and that the land is divided according to agreed-upon proportions.


3️⃣ Legal Documentation and Reporting
- After completing the survey, we prepare a legal survey report that includes maps, measurements, and all necessary documentation.

4️⃣ Final Review and Stakeout
- We work with the family to ensure all divisions are correct.

- Our surveyors provide visible markers to help distinguish the property lines, ensuring no confusion down the line.
