I am researching a property to prepare a proposal and came across something I haven't yet seen. The property is a Lot in a subdivision. There was a Lot Line Adjustment done in 2012. The neighbors deed was recorded in 2013 and it reflects the Lot Line Adjustment. My potential client hasn't yet recorded a new deed. Their current deed is from 2011 and hence their deed does not reflect the Lot Line Adjustment. The APN Map shows the adjusted line.
As it sits today, there is an overlap in the deeds which creates a defect in title, correct?

My question is: Does my potential client need to simply record a new deed to reflect the LLA from 12 years ago? Reading the SMA 66412 (d) I cannot find a time limit on when a new deed needs to be recorded?

Does anyone have any experience with something like this or do I need to contact the title company or governing agency for clarification?

Look at the chain of title to see if the LLA was effectuated with recorded deeds.

I had the title company send me all of the deeds yesterday up to 2009, before the LLA was recorded in 2012. There has not been a new deed recorded since 2011 (one year before the LLA was recorded). I would say it hasn't been effectuated with recorded deeds.

Which county is this in? I heard of a similar situation and the LLA file in the local permitting agency helped resolve the issue.

Something is screwy. Needs to be cleared up.

This is in the City of Cupertino, Santa Clara County

A lot of agencies place time limits on LLAs and require the recorded exchange deeds to be submitted as a condition for completion and closing the file.
For some reason LLAs get screwed up all the time in my experience.

58 counties + how many cities = number of ways to process a LLA.

RAM I had a good laugh from your post. How true.
