[WSBAPT] condo question

[John McCrady]

I don’t understand the insertion of the unit number; the unit number should have been in the acquisition deed.
The abbreviated legal is required to be on the first page of the deed, but only if the full legal is not on the first page.
If you want to send the deed(s) to me I would be happy to check them out from a title insurance perspective.

Subject: [WSBAPT] condo question

Folks,

    I was asked a reet question by a family where father wants to quitclaim his share of a condo to his son.  I answered the question but I think they wanted to do their own deed and I did not want to take on the work for a few dollars.  I gave him a form of qcd and based on my perusal of the deed that had granted title to the two of them I told them to use the same legal, which differed from all I could l see in inserting the unit number “unit 415” at the front of the full legal.  The deed was a pretty thing with a caption and in the caption it also suggested an abbreviation for the legal, which seemed to me inessential to validity.  Anyone heartily disagree and I will let them know that perhaps they should consult a real lawyer.
