That's amulti-faceted question. If YOU are the owner, and have good title to the land, you may not want to do anything. If YOU are a title searcher trying to get an idea of the shape of the property by plotting the decription, you may want to check your drafting. If YOU are a surveyor checking the closure, you might want to find the mathematical error in the decription and compare the closing line with the boundary lines, to track down a possible typographical error. If you are resurveying the property, you will find which lines are described correctly and you can isolate the error. There is legal precedent, at least in PA, for throwing the error into the closing line. But it still has to work on the ground.
