Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you
with its preparation. Boundary line issues are always sensitive. As a great country
lawyer once told me, “Nothing gets people excited and contentious like boundary line
and will disputes.” So a word to the wise: if you want to build a fence, be careful to get
consensus and protect yourself further by doing it in advance. Be sure to get all the
payments up front so you don’t wind up dunning your neighbor or he/she doing the same
to you.

1. Make multiple copies. Give one to each signatory. Keep one with the
transaction or real estate file related to the subject matter.
2. Your actions should be guided by the thought, “Trust everyone but cut the cards.”
