Legal Descriptions

A Legal Description is defined as “A written statement acknowledged by law as to the definite location of a tract of land by reference to a recorded map, survey, or adjoining property.” (Source: BLM Surveying and Mapping Terms). In layman terms, it is used to indicate how to discover a particular land parcel relative to other buildings on the face of the earth.

Together, the legal description and land survey merge to create the legal framework foundation of the property being purchased. This property documentation provides detailed information regarding the land’s boundaries.
