Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A license applicant is studying a California practice scenario involving metes and bounds. The parties need a practical answer before moving forward. Which answer best applies the rule? (Item 16)

Answer choices

1. A. It is valid only when the buyer pays cash and no lender is involved.
2. B. It prevents any later disclosure, even when new facts become known.
3. C. It applies only to commercial property and never to residential transactions.
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.
