Illinois Boundary Law is the essential reference book for anyone who needs to understand real property boundaries under Illinois law. Written primarily for land surveyors, this book is also a valuable tool for real estate professionals, attorneys, and landowners. Arranged in eleven chapters, the subject matter includes the origination of real property title in the State of Illinois, how real property boundaries are established on the ground, deeds, conveyances, surveying systems, easements, and rights-of-way. Written in a similar fashion to a law school casebook, there are plenty of court opinions, excerpts from cases and citations to actual lawsuits involving boundary disputes, adverse possession, negligence actions, trespass issues and slander of title, to name a few. Cases from other jurisdictions have been included on points where Illinois' courts have been silent. This book is an intriguing read for anyone interested in the history and development of real property boundaries in Illinois.

It also helps to avoid expensive and wasteful litigation over boundaries that were previously not in conflict. The text offers an extensive review of the law for boundary retracement and cites numerous case examples.

American land surveying has a dilemma; it's called the "pincushion corner." This is a name used to describe the phenomena of multiple boundary monuments being set by land surveyors when only one boundary corner exists under the law. The pincushion has not gone unnoticed by the legal profession and the general public. It is now common knowledge that no two surveyors can agree on the location of any given property corner. The pincushion is physical proof of that notion. Not only is the pincushion becoming a public relations disaster for the profession, it is causing those who might otherwise consider commissioning a survey to decide otherwise. And herein lies the dilemma; no one wants to hire the surveyor because of the way surveying is practiced, the pincushion being emblematic of that practice. This book explores the effect of the pincushion, how the phenomena started, why it exists, and remedies to end the practices that allow the pincushion corner to not only exist, but to flourish.
