The Most Important Part of a Real Estate Deed?

A legal description in real estate is a detailed way of describing a parcel of land in a document that will be accepted by a court of law. It uniquely identifies and accurately locates and describes the boundaries of the property, distinguishing it from all other properties. Legal descriptions are used in deeds, leases, and other legal documents to ensure there is no ambiguity about the property being transferred or encumbered.

Just ran across one of your shorts, I'm a surveyor in Gaston Co. I had a property that was originally 2 old mill lots where there was a foreclosure a couple of owners back and the bank's attorney only included 1 lot in the action...what a mess!!

Can you talk about deed/title theft? It’s rampant in many states and even whistleblowers are being silenced.

[justinwedul]

Very informative short, thx. Question - not related to the short's topic - do you know the name/location of the lake footage in the vid?

[cyllakjaw]

Never trust a sellers word. They either dont know or will lie to you. Also trust but verify whatever a survey company tells you. They can also be incomplete.

Is there any movement towards a Torrens title land registry system in the States (or any particular state)?

[ScroogeMcWhat]

Unless it’s a grant deed and then you get rights with it. You don’t get rights with every kind of deed or property. But you do get rights with a grant deed.

Legal description on the deed or legal description of the plot map with the county??

[EvieJohns]

What about a home that is on three different lots and the owner of the house has passed and the other lots were purchased in a tax sale - and don’t want to sell now what happens the home is actually or worth anything unless the other two property owners agree to sell ?

That's what title insurance is for.

Don't trust a lenders description. Hire a well known surveyor.

If there's a historic mistake you need to claim adverse possession

Exactly why I'd be if I was dealing with anybody else but the farmer that my family has worked for for generations. Our properties under land contract, with no actual contract. 300 acres for $20, 000

She is not lying to you you also want to look at Timber Mineral Water and Air rights if any of these four have been sold that could impact what you want to do like I bought 2 Acres the timber mineral rights on it were sold but the water and air rights or not sold I had to find who bought the Timber and mineral and buy them back are they could have came in cut down all my trees at any time as well as drilled for minerals whether I had structures built on it or not

People don't read these things. They don't even know the difference between a warranty deed and a quit claim.



They also don't read their title insurance (IF they buy it!) Read those exceptions! Access is important!

[naomiemoore]

Don't people read their documents? Or hand off to an attorney? Is everyone that daft? Guess so. Otherwise, you wouldn't be posting these tips.
