Where would I find the survey for my parents estate? (New Brunswick: attorney, house)

[Bellyflops]

Trying to put a fence up at my parents house in Colonia which I am aquiring from the estate but the township says we need a survey of the property which I understand the reason for, but which we can not locate. Anyone know where this data is held. The "nice" lady at Woodbridge Townships say they do not have it there and to call New Brunswick???

The survey may have been filed with the deed down at the county clerk's office, but not necessarily. Do you have any of the paperwork from when they bought the house, or do you know the attorney who handled the purchase? They may have it in their files. That's the last time it would probably have been needed.

Otherwise, you may need to cough up a few hundred $$ to get a new survey done- probably somewhere around $400-600.

We are thinking of doing a subdivision down the road. Do we need to request anything additional for the survey?

I'd just let the surveyor know that you're considering a subdivision, so if there's anything they need to add, they can do it now. In general, though, when you go for the subdivision, you'll want to hire a civil engineer, who will get the survey info from the surveyor (or use a surveyor now who can also do the subdivision engineering).

We used AJV Engineering in Woodbridge in the past for engineering work, but I don't know if they do surveying alone.
