National Real Property Section Comparison Chart
Can title to property be obtained by adverse possession over a period of time? Is there a standard APS used for most transactions, or is it tailored for each property? How is a search of title conducted, and how is registration completed? What about surveys; how are they a part of the transaction? The Section has prepared a comparison chart that provides concise answers to these questions and more. The table is in the early stage and incomplete - if you have a contribution to the table, please contact any executive member of the Section.
