Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A broker is supervising a transaction file involving metes and bounds. The parties need a practical answer before moving forward. Which answer best applies the rule? (Item 156)

Answer choices

1. A. It allows a salesperson to act independently of the responsible broker.
2. B. It shifts all responsibility to escrow and eliminates the broker’s duties.
3. C. It makes oral promises enforceable in every real estate transaction.
4. D. Recognize a legal description using boundaries, directions, and distances.

Correct Answer

D. Recognize a legal description using boundaries, directions, and distances.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because metes and bounds requires candidates to recognize a legal description using boundaries, directions, and distances. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
