<p>Seemingly that litigation scenario is a bit different than the
OP's situation.</p>
<p>I'm not surprised the title company is taking the position that
it is. I had that work to my clients' advantage a couple of years
ago.</p>
<p>Generally the title company is the final arbitrator of what is
right and wrong, but here it would likely be a future lender.
Would they lend with that exception on the title report?<br>

neighboring parcels (in Seattle) have agreed to enter into
a Boundary Line Agreement pursuant to RCW 58.04.007.
However, we're getting pushback from Chicago Title. Their

to get this across the finish line?<o:p></o:p></p>

had luck with the procedure [party's] attorney is
suggesting. In reviewing with underwriting counsel here,
we acknowledge that a Boundary Line Agreement is an option
to resolve boundary line disputes or discrepancies under
RCW 58.04.007. However, in our experience, King County
will likely assert their formal boundary line adjustment
administrative review process needs to be followed, too.
Presumptively, the City of Seattle would take the same
stance. It’s likely building and repair permits would be
denied in the future if they don’t obtain city approval.
Also, the county assessor might decline to change the tax
roll to match the new boundaries.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
