Land description
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Land description consists of the written words which delineate a specific piece of real property. Also known as a "Legal Description", land descriptions within the United States can generally be classified as one of five basic types:
- Metes and bounds
- "Bounded By" description
- An aliquot part of the US Public Land Survey System
- Lot and Block survey system or lot shown on a similar subdivision map
- A strip description
In the written transfer of real property, it is universally required that the instrument of conveyance (deed) include a written description of the property.
