An ALTA survey discloses physical and locational matters affecting the land, such as improvements, visible features, boundary relationships, encroachments, and possible setback-line issues. A pond located on the land can be shown because it is a physical feature. Improvements on the land can be located and plotted. A setback violation may be revealed if a structure is shown inside a required setback area. A property line lawsuit, however, is a legal proceeding or claim, not something a survey itself physically discloses. It may be found through litigation records, title search, or other legal investigation. The Pennsylvania title outline tests surveys, boundary matters, title exceptions, liens, claims against title, and clearing-title concerns.
