So, why did she get a survey if she paid cash? And actually in a short sale or foreclosure it seems like one gets fewer services, less info and fewer guarantees....rather than more as in having the survey done.
She needs a good lawyer. She must see what the bad one has done for her so far. Maybe a good letter on that legal firm's stationary can help out. The survey company needs to prove who requested the survey. It may have been the title company assuming there was a loan.

Sorry for the confusion!
I think jackmichigan may have had the answer as to why the survey was required by the title company.
She decided that it wasn't worth the hassle and after speaking more with the lawyer they agreed to split the $ owed.
