*This document is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Most jurisdictions treat a lot line adjustment as a form of subdivision requiring formal municipal approval, not just a private agreement between neighbors — recording new deeds without that approval can leave both properties with a legally defective boundary that surfaces as a title problem at a future sale.*
