What is the value of an uncalled-for monument set after a parcel is conveyed?

The value of an uncalled-for monument, meaning one that is not referenced in the deed or property description, is that it generally has no value for determining the location of the property as described in the written deed. This is because property boundaries are typically established by the descriptions provided in legal documents. When a monument is uncalled-for, it lacks legal standing in that context and cannot be used to contest or redefine the original intent expressed in the deed. Therefore, while the monument may exist on-site and could serve as a point of reference, it does not have legal value in terms of establishing or confirming boundaries as intended in the official documentation.

In a legal sense, monuments are typically considered beneficial when they are explicitly called for in property surveys or deeds. If a monument is not mentioned in these documents, it cannot be relied upon to establish or redefine property boundaries, which underscores its general lack of value in boundary determination when referenced against the legal agreement.
