Listmates, My client has just been told by a county official to get a judge to sign off on a "judicial short plat". Apparently the client owned Lot A and bought half of the adjoining lot B. This was a post 1972 purchase so the platting statute applies. Obviously getting ½ of a lot without a BLA or some other recognized method is a violation of the platting statute. Government official has told the client to explain the situation to a judge and get them to sign an order making the ½ lot a separate legal lot. Purportedly the ruling would be based on "gee we didn't know and its been this way a really long time. " Anyone heard of such a thing?
