Hello All!
We own 12.89 acres in the NE corner of the section. Our lot is approximately 7xx feet square or so. Another farmer owns the rest of the quarter. The farmer is willing to sell us approximately 3 acres to the south of our line. Kinda has a treeline and would make our farmyard a whole lot nicer. Geographically, it would turn our lot from roughly square, to rectangular. Other 3 lines would not be affected.
What kind of legal/deed/real estate stuff is involved here to annex that +- 3 acres to my 12.89? Can I call my courthouse and will they help?
Also, I assume it would need to be surveyed to get the new legal description. What's a ballpark cost on that service? I would also have them find and mark my existing corners.
Thank you for any advice.
