ALTA/NSPS Survey

A boundary or property survey for the purpose of conveyance with title insurance. Site improvements are required. "Simply stated the purpose of a 2011 ALTA/NSPS Survey is to remove the "Survey Exception Language" from the Title Insurance policy for both Owner's and Lender's Title insurance coverage, what is also commonly referred to as providing Extended Coverage. From a pragmatic point of view the extent that the standards can be deviated from is purely dependent on the willingness of the Title Insurer to provide the insurance coverage required by the buyer and/or lender for the real property transaction." (First American Title website, June 5, 2013)
