Mastering the Art of Legal Descriptions: A Workshop with Ron Nelms, PLS

Last Friday marked an important day of professional development for our team as we participated in an intensive workshop on "Boundary Retracements & Legal Description Writing," led by distinguished industry veteran Ron Nelms, PLS. The significance of precise legal descriptions in land surveying cannot be overstated. Every word we write today becomes a crucial guide for future surveyors who will retrace our steps. During the workshop, we delved into the nuanced art of crafting these descriptions, focusing on proper word phrasing and the intricate process of boundary retracements. Working alongside fellow Iowa surveyors, we exchanged insights and strengthened our technical expertise. This collaborative learning environment reinforced our commitment to excellence in the field. The workshop provided valuable tools and techniques that will directly benefit our clients through enhanced accuracy and clarity in our surveying services.
