What are metes and bounds? What role do they play in land description? Does use of metes and bounds descriptions eliminate the reference to monuments?
What will be an ideal response?
Metes and bounds are the distances and boundary lines of the property starting from a designated place of beginning, traveling along the boundary lines until returning to the beginning point. The role of metes and bounds is to provide a legally accurate description of the property. The use of natural monuments, such as trees or stream beds, is gradually being replaced by in-ground concrete markers or iron pins.
