An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a comprehensive boundary survey performed to a strict set of standards developed by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) in conjunction with the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS).  These surveys are acceptable to a title insurance company insuring title to real property.  Other key elements of an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey include: rights of way, access, lines of possession, improvements along the boundaries, buildings, easements and servitudes, cemeteries and water features.
