I remember the surveyor calling me up about three days after we bought the house at 109 Colburn St., where we were planning to build our new accessible home. He said, “Uh, I think you only own about 2/3 of the property you bought.” That got my attention. He explained: “The house sits on a lot that was cobbled together over time from 7 smaller lots. When you bought the house you got a deed that included 4 of those smaller lots, but it doesn’t include the last three. So you don’t own the whole yard.”
