The GLS advantage

Better records than the courthouse

In more than 70 years of continuous practice we have compiled an enormous archive of surveys and land records (better records than the Clerk of Court holds in many metro Atlanta counties). We are routinely asked to provide missing or illegible documents to the county and court system.

When a 100-year-old property has conflicting legal descriptions, measurements alone will not solve the problem. Research does. That archive, combined with our legal knowledge of land surveying, lets us solve boundary problems and prevent costly litigation.
