Legal Description
A precise metes-and-bounds or recorded-lot description that uniquely identifies the parcel; street address alone is usually insufficient for recording or title work.
A properly completed Real Estate Property Signed reduces title risk, supports recording, and preserves evidence of assent and timing. It improves chain-of-title clarity and helps avoid disputes about parties, dates, or monetary terms while aligning with ESIGN (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and applicable state e-signature law.
Typical users include brokers, title agents, lenders, attorneys, sellers, landlords, and property managers responsible for preparing, reviewing, or accepting signed property documents.
Understanding each role helps you assign the right fields, authentication, and post-signing routing so the document meets recording and contractual needs.
A precise metes-and-bounds or recorded-lot description that uniquely identifies the parcel; street address alone is usually insufficient for recording or title work.
Full legal names for grantors, grantees, tenants, and agents with role labels (seller, buyer, landlord, tenant) to avoid ambiguity in obligations and rights.
The exact purchase price or description of consideration; when omitted or vague, the instrument may be rejected or trigger additional inquiries during title review.
Signed and dated lines for each party; dates determine effective obligations and are essential for recording and priority of interests.
A completed notary block or remote online notarization statement when required by state law; many counties require a notarized acknowledgement for recording.
Explicit directions for county recorder including grantor/grantee names, return address, and any cover sheets needed to ensure proper indexing.
