Can a surveyor use a Mortgage Inspection Report to set property corners?

A Mortgage Inspection Report is not intended to provide the definitive boundaries of a property. This type of report is primarily designed to show the locations of existing improvements in relation to property lines, without the precision and detailed research required for establishing legal property corners. For setting property corners, a formal boundary survey is required, which involves a much more thorough process, including research of historical documents, deeds, and field measurements to ensure accurate delineation of property boundaries.

While the other options suggest various conditions under which a Mortgage Inspection Report might be utilized, none of them address the essential requirement for a boundary survey to successfully and legally set property corners. Options indicating that it could be used if detailed, based on past records, or with client permission do not align with the regulatory and professional standards governing boundary determinations and the duties of professional land surveyors.
