You go out a buy a piece of property then years and years later a back dated plot plan pops up and is registered you don't even know anything about it... and voila you loose your land just like that. The State is just using time tested methods of extortion. It would be nice if all land surveryors and lawyers had integrity but that is not the case, not even close. It would be nice if the court system was there to provide justice but that is also not often the case. Those folks have all the money, all the power, and all the expert lawyers...a common citizen has nothing.
Most of those thefts occur within a community with the support of town officials and because the common citizen usually does not have the resources to access the court these thefts just quietly happen and it happens often. Town officials are very familiar with this process of relieving good people of their property.
The State most always kept above the fray and mostly held itself to a higher standard. It is not necessary or even expedient for them to do so now. They no longer have to worry about the court system so can hold themselves above the law.report abuse
