Justification
In 1975, an error was made in a deed description of a property on 8283 W. Port Bay Road, Wolcott, NY, and all subsequent transfers have relied on that erroneous deed description.
During a land survey completed by the NYS DEC Real Property Office, it was discovered that part of a property and residence thought to be owned by Karen R. Lynch, were located on lands actually owned by the State of New York.
As the DEC does not have the authority to sell this land to Mrs. Lynch, an exchange of land is necessary.
