[WSBARP] reading old deed abstract

[Mark K. Funke]

Eric- When the deed abstract is not clear I’ve requested photos of the actual handwritten recorded document so I can read the original; sometimes they include additional information that clarifies matters.

I had a situation a while back where the original hand written document clarified which party was responsible to maintain a bridge. The abstract merely said that there was an easement for a bridge and didn’t mention that anyone had an obligation to repair/maintain. - Mark
