When areas lie beyond the registered boundaries and aren’t the result of measurement errors, they should be treated as separate parcels through a formal survey and plan. This means sketching the area, conducting a survey on the ground, and assigning it its own lot number and description. Doing so ensures the area has a clearly defined and legally enforceable status, can be titled and taxed properly, and keeps cadastral records accurate and free from ambiguity. Ignoring the area would allow unresolved encroachment, incorporating it into the existing survey without changes would corrupt the records, and merely reporting it to the local government without action would not establish ownership. Therefore, the correct approach is to create a new, separately numbered lot for the claimed area.
