I just moved to the Frederick, Maryland area (originally from Baltimore) after living in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the past five years.

Just to make sure..... verify that the legal description in Your purchase matches the legal description in; the foreclosure action, the original mtg from the previous owner, and in the deed where the previous owner purchased.Surveyors rarely make this kind of mistake, but that is also possible.If all the previous legal descriptions are the same, dating back to when the house was actually built, are we to assume that whoever built the house just “guessed” at where to build it?
