[WSBARP] Accretion

[Gregory L. Ursich]

I think you would use a surveyor as an expert to opine on how the land has changed.  I have done a ton of expert witness work with surveyors, and would be happy to talk to the PC. -Greg

Subject: Re: [WSBARP] Accretion

Though I am now retired I still get calls seeking possible referrals.

Had a PC call with - of all things - a question [and potential issues] relating to accretion.

Though I am not sure, I believe accretion is the creation of land that occurs when for example a river changes course over time.

So questions for the listserve:


  1.  Has anyone dealt with accretion issues whose contact info I can pass on to the PC?
  2.  Another principle I am not sure of:   I don't think accreted land automatically becomes owned by the property owner adjacent to the accreted land.  Correct?

Thanks,
Ron
