When it comes to real estate transactions, a precise legal description of the property is essential. At Schuitmaker Moraitis Law, we often see buyers and sellers underestimate the importance of this seemingly technical aspect. However, an incorrect or vague legal description can lead to boundary disputes, title issues, or even failed transactions.
Unlike a simple street address, a legal description provides an exact way to identify a property using methods such as metes and bounds, lot and block systems, or government surveys. These descriptions ensure there is no ambiguity in real estate contracts, deeds, and mortgages. A minor mistake—such as an omitted lot number or an incorrect boundary marker—can create significant legal headaches down the road.
That’s why having an experienced attorney review your property’s legal description is crucial. Whether you are buying, selling, or resolving a property dispute, ensuring the accuracy of this document can save time, money, and frustration. At Schuitmaker Moraitis Law, we are here to help navigate the complexities of real estate law and protect your investment every step of the way.
