Alta Surveys are usually required for commercial real estate transactions by title insurance companies. They are performed to standards prepared and adopted by the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping "ALTA/ACSM". The surveyor uses the current title commitment policy for the legal description and any easements, which may affect the property. When ordering an ALTA Survey you should fill out table"A" so the surveyor is clear on which additional items need to be addressed. This is a very comprehensive survey of the property and gives every one involved a clear picture of what is being bought and sold.
