[WSBAPT] Deed Transfer Question

[Heather deVrieze]

I would reach out to a local title company and seek full and complete legal descriptions for each parcel, and not try to make it up by reasoning through the old deed.

The parcels can be deeded separately, as long as clearly separate parcels on the County records, but you don’t want to get legal descriptions wrong. I assume two separate property tax bills come every year.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Deed Transfer Question

List Mates -

I have two separate and distinct tax parcel numbers. I have property that are in the same neighborhood but in different areas.  But I have but one Statutory Warranty Deed from 1977 that transferred ownership to my Decedent.

The Deed starts off with this language:

Lots 29 and 30 in Block 13 and Lots 1 and 2 in Block 9......

The two parcels are 29 & 30 (in one) and 1 & 2 in the other.   The heirs (distant family) had divided the property among themselves. Would it therefore be permissible for me to simply have one Deed of PR with a legal description that starts
"Lots 29 and 30 in Block 13...." and then a second that starts "Lots 1 and 2 in Block 9...."

This is my first time dealing with a property transfer where the original deed transferred more than one parcel at a time.

Thank you,

Brent
