The written text in a deed that defines exactly which piece of land is conveyed.
The paragraph in a deed, easement, or plat that identifies a parcel precisely enough to stand on its own in court. It may be a metes and bounds description, a lot-and-block reference to a recorded plat, or an aliquot part of a PLSS section.

Features & WorkflowsTyping out a long deed by hand is slow. It's worse when you finish, check the math, and realize you have to review your own keystrokes.
