In which document would you find the legal description of a property?

The legal description of a property is typically found in the deed. The deed is the official document that transfers ownership of the property from one party to another and includes crucial information regarding the property, such as its legal description. This description is essential for identifying the exact boundaries and location of the property, distinct from its mailing address or other informal identifiers.

Other documents serve different purposes and do not include the formal legal description. A purchase agreement outlines the terms of the sale, a listing agreement details the relationship between the seller and the real estate agent, and a home inspection report assesses the physical condition of the property. None of these would contain the legal description necessary for formal identification and recording of the property transaction.
