Question: 1 / 400

Which item typically does NOT belong to a legal description?

Lot number

Surveyor's name

A legal description is a way to define a parcel of land in such a manner that its location and boundaries can be precisely identified without being ambiguous. The components of a legal description often include specific elements such as lot numbers, property dimensions, and sometimes references to maps or surveys that outline the land's boundaries.

The surveyor's name does not typically form part of the legal description itself. Legal descriptions focus on the physical aspects and identifiers of the property, not the individuals involved in the survey process. Thus, the inclusion of a surveyor's name is not standard practice when preparing or interpreting legal descriptions for property.

In contrast, the other options—lot number, owner's name, and property dimensions—are all crucial elements used to accurately describe a property’s location and boundaries within legal documents.
