Legal Description

My grasshopper, legal description includes everything including the easements on property. It can take a whole page.
Weedhopper, that is because you are using the "prelim" which is in effect a title search. Very few legal descriptions include all easements. They typically just refer to being subject to all easements etc. Most easements such as utility easements are not even in place when the original legal description is created
 
USPAP, ansi and now legal perfectionists? Didn't know the high anal side of you legal perfectionists until this thread.
So you are a bad appraiser without a legal description in your report, misleading the readers to not find your subject property.
I can't discuss this nonsense with some of yous. But a somewhat interesting nuts o's appraiser discussion, well with some of yous , yes.

I'm looking at my subject's legal description from Prelim and has exceptions describing the easements.
It feels up 3/4 page.
