How Presidential Title Empowers You:
Legal description errors occur when inaccuracies are found in the written description that outlines a property’s boundaries. Unlike an address, which can sometimes be ambiguous, a legal description provides a precise and unique identifier for a piece of real estate. These errors can manifest in several ways, but one common issue is when the legal description fails to "close," meaning the outline doesn't correctly form a complete shape.
Legal description errors can significantly hinder the sale process. If the bounds of the property are inaccurately represented, it can lead to disputes over property lines, potentially stalling or even derailing a sale. Buyers might face difficulties securing finance, as lenders typically require clear and accurate legal descriptions.
To resolve these issues, title agents play a critical role. They meticulously review the legal description to detect any discrepancies. If an error is identified, the agent will work to amend it before the sale proceeds.
For property owners or buyers, it's prudent to order a land survey if there are concerns about the legal description. A survey can uncover any easements, encroachments, or boundary disputes. Once obtained, the survey results should be forwarded to a title agent who can use this information to amend the title policy and ensure no boundary exceptions exist.
It’s essential to initiate a land survey early in the home buying process. Surveys can be delayed by weather conditions or a shortage of professional surveyors, so securing a surveyor promptly during the inspection period can preemptively resolve potential issues, keeping the property transaction on track.
