Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A buyer and seller disagree about a transaction term involving metes and bounds. The parties need a practical answer before moving forward. Which answer best applies the rule? (Item 56)

Answer choices

1. A. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
2. B. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
3. C. It can be ignored if the transaction is expected to close quickly.
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.
