legal description also typically mentions percentage interest in common elements and might also mention a separate parking space and/or storage unit. Obviously I can't tell from this vantage point.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> 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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
