METHODS OF LEGAL DESCRIPTION<\/span>
\nThere are many common ways of describing properties: address (100 Main
\nStreet), name (Buckingham Palace), and general description (“the south forty
\nacres”). Such informal descriptions are not acceptable for use in public
\nrecordation or, generally speaking, in a court of law because they lack both
\npermanence and sufficient information for a surveyor to locate the property.
\nEven if a legal document or public record refers to an address, the
\nreference is always supported by an accepted legal description.
\nA legal description of real property is one which accurately locates and
\nidentifies the boundaries of the subject parcel to a degree acceptable by courts
\nof law in the state where the property is located.
\nThe general criterion for a legal description is that it alone provides sufficient
\ndata for a surveyor to locate the parcel. A legal description identifies the
\nproperty as unique and distinct from all other properties.
\nLegal description provides accuracy and consistency over time. Systems of
\nlegal description, in theory, facilitate transfers of ownership and prevent
\nboundary disputes and problems with chain of title.
\nA legal description is required for:
\n\uf034 public recording
\n\uf034 creating a valid deed of conveyance or lease
\n\uf034 completing mortgage documents
\n\uf034 executing and recording other legal documents
\nIn addition, a legal description provides a basis for court rulings on
\nencroachments and easements.
\n120 Principles of Real Estate Practice
\nThe three accepted methods of legally describing parcels of real estate are:
\n\uf034 metes and bounds
\n\uf034 rectangular survey system, or government survey method
\n\uf034 recorded plat method, or lot and block method
\nSince the metes and bounds method preceded the inception of the rectangular
\nsurvey system, the older East Coast states generally employ metes and bounds
\ndescriptions. States in the Midwest and West predominantly use the rectangular
\nsurvey system. Some states combine methods.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

METES AND BOUNDS<\/span>
\nA metes and bounds description identifies the boundaries of a parcel of real estate
\nusing reference points, distances, and angles. The description always identifies an
\nenclosed area by starting at an origination point, called point of beginning, or
\nPOB, and returning to the POB at the end of the description. A metes and bounds
\ndescription must return to the POB in order to be valid.
\nThe term “metes” refers to distance and direction, and the term “bounds”
\nrefers to fixed reference points, or monuments and landmarks, which may
\nbe natural and artificial. Natural landmarks include trees, rocks, rivers, and
\nlakes. Artificial landmarks are typically surveyor stakes.
\nMany states use metes and bounds description to describe properties within
\nthe rectangular survey system.
\nA metes and bounds description begins with an identification of the city, county,
\nand state where the property is located. Next, it identifies the POB and describes
\nthe distance and direction from the POB to the first monument, and then to
\nsubsequent monuments that define the property’s enclosed perimeter.<\/p>\n
