RE your comment . . "A survey DOES define your legal property"
In my experience, a survey does NOT define property. It describes it with a professional opinion.
If you know othewise - please cite even one example where a survery is legally binding with no judicial invervention. Certainly does not work that way in Michigan or New York. Maybe somewhere else. the following from a Michigan legal database.
"Michigan law recognizes three kinds of acquiescence vis-à-vis boundary lines. The first is acquiescence for a statutory time period of at least 15 years, which means that when two adjoining landowners have treated a particular boundary as the real property line for at least that long, whether or not they have engaged in a dispute about the issue, a court can find that the boundary is at that place, even if it is different than that measured in a survey or described in a deed."
"The second theory is acquiescence after a dispute and agreement, also called the doctrine of practical location. When adjoining property owners have a boundary line dispute, but resolve it by express or implied agreement that sets a particular line as the boundary, that line becomes the true boundary if they treat it as such over time. Practical location depends on the actions of the parties, not on whether the acquiescence lasts 15 years, so that length of time must not necessarily be reached under this theory."
"A Michigan boundary dispute may be resolved either by negotiation between the parties involved or in court such as in a lawsuit to quiet title. Acquiescence is one important legal theory such a plaintiff may assert, among other possible theories like adverse possession, easement by prescription, equitable estoppel, mutual mistake and others."
