An inclusive survey is a type of survey that measures and maps out a piece of land, but also includes any land that may be owned or claimed by others and is not part of the surveyed area. It can also refer to a questionnaire or poll that asks people for their opinions on a particular topic. In maritime law, a survey is a written assessment of the condition of a ship or cargo.
An inclusive survey is a type of survey that includes land within the described boundaries that is owned or claimed by others and excluded from the survey's computed area. This means that the survey takes into account land that may not be owned by the person or entity conducting the survey.
For example, if a company wants to conduct an inclusive survey of a piece of land they are interested in purchasing, they would need to take into account any land that may be owned by neighboring property owners but falls within the boundaries of the land they are interested in.
Inclusive surveys are important because they provide a more accurate representation of the land being surveyed and can help avoid disputes over property boundaries in the future.
