A legal description of property is not adequate unless?

  1. It is witnessed by a notary

  2. It includes the property's purchase price

  3. Land boundaries are defined

  4. It is drafted by a lawyer

The correct answer is: Land boundaries are defined

A Including the purchase price may be helpful for tax and financial purposes, but it is not necessary for a legal description of the property. B: It is not necessary for a notary to witness the legal description of the property, but it may add an extra level of assurance. D: While a lawyer may draft the legal description of the property, it is not a requirement for it to be considered adequate. A legal description of property is not adequate unless the land boundaries are defined. Land boundaries are essential in identifying the exact location and size of the property, making it a necessary element in a legal description. Without defined boundaries, the description would be incomplete and could lead to misinterpretation and potential legal issues in the future. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
