Now keep it safe: three things
  1. Keep your photos and files unedited. The receipt only matches the originals. Put them in an album such as “My records”.
  2. Save this receipt to your camera roll.

    Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.

  3. Email it to yourself.Email it to myself

    Your mail app opens a draft. Attach your receipt image and receipt file. Don’t attach your photos or documents. Timevolt does not send it or know whether it was sent.

      How to keep notes that hold up

      Write notes as soon as you can. Keep the original account rather than replacing it later; the venue decides what weight it gets.

      1. Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
      2. Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
      3. Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
      4. Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
      5. Never edit an old note. Add a new dated entry when something changes. A device save time is not independent time evidence or proof of event order.

      Old occupation can help prove an agreed boundary

      A fire destroyed the old boundary map, and no usable field notes remained. The court used years of occupation and buildings to infer agreed lines. It kept the neighbors' win.

      A painted line does not prove an agreement

      Neighbors disputed a line marked with spray paint by a contractor. The court found no proof they had agreed to settle an uncertain boundary. It kept the win for the neighbors defending the claim.

      An oral boundary deal can bind later owners

      Earlier owners agreed that a fence marked an uncertain boundary. The court ruled their spoken deal valid. It told the lower court to rule for the side relying on that deal.

      A claimed boundary deal still needs credible proof

      A neighbor claimed an old oral boundary deal. The court did not believe that account and found it failed the written-deal rule. It kept the win for the owner relying on the deed and survey.

      State courts, boundary by agreement and acquiescence doctrines

      Agreed line must arise from uncertainty or dispute, be definite, and be followed by possession; agreement may be inferred from conduct

      Opinions turn on proving an agreement, uncertainty and conduct. None addresses timestamps; a dated signed plan is plainly relevant evidence of agreement but courts decide weight. Rules vary by state.

      Proves / Doesn’t prove

      Proves

      A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.

      Doesn’t prove

      It does not prove who signed or drew the map, that both neighbors truly agreed, where the line sits on the ground, or that a court or land registry will accept it.

      This cannot establish signatures, agreement, a boundary on the ground or legal effect.

      These are the bounds of a completed proof. The local tester does not establish any time. The chosen court, scheme or regulator decides what to accept.

      Questions, answered plainly.

      Your file stays on your device. During normal receipt creation, your device sends a randomized code made from its fingerprint, plus encrypted recovery data. It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking. Privacy Policy.

      Can a time receipt make my boundary agreement legally binding?

      No. It only dates the exact files. Binding force comes from the agreement itself, signatures, and in many places recording or registration.

      Does a verbal boundary agreement with a neighbor count?

      Sometimes. Some US courts enforce oral agreements that settle a real uncertainty and are followed by possession, but others reject them and proof is hard. Put it in writing.

      Does a fence mean we agreed the boundary?

      Not by itself. Courts look for an agreement or acquiescence in the line as the boundary, not just a fence existing.

      What should a boundary agreement include?

      Both parties, legal descriptions, the agreed line on a measured plan, markers, signatures and date, and any recording step. A surveyor and a local lawyer should check it.

      Do I still need to record or register the agreement?

      Usually worth doing. In England and Wales you can file form AP1 with the agreement; in the US, many counties accept recording of boundary line agreements. Check locally.

      What if my neighbor produces a different map later?

      A receipt shows which version existed by your date. Anyone can compare file fingerprints to your receipt, but it cannot show which map the other party signed.
