I am looking to purchase a vacant land parcel in New Hampshire. The land was conveyed to the current owner via a warranty deed. That seller sub-divided the land and the surveyor made a notation on the sub-division map of a "title cloud". The cloud is an old road that was never discontinued, BUT it was relocated. That relocation was formally recorded in town records and occured in 1842. The State has placed survey monuments on the "new" road and the abutting property owner (who is also the State) on the opposite side of the road has modified their maps to reflect the new boundaries.
My question is, although the road was never "discontinued" does official relocation constitute the same thing? There is NH case law that says relocation and the recording of a quit claim deed reverts the land back to the abutter, but in this matter no quit claim deed was ever filed.
