Fred and Wilma purchased a six acre parcel of land in order to build a restaurant. An error in the property description omitted a strip of land needed to access a public highway. This is discovered after the closing. Explain the immediate consequence to Fred and Wilma
What will be an ideal response?
The accuracy of a legal description is critical. Only the land described is transferred. If the description of the property is not accurate, and a part of the parcel is omitted, the portion omitted is not transferred and remains with the grantor. In this case, the strip of land needed to access the highway was not transferred to Fred and Wilma.
