Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving legal descriptions and state forms and disclosure awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 53)
Answer choices
- A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- C. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- D. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
Correct Answer
A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. The Utah reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
