[WSBARP] Legal Description zero range and numbered quarter section?

[Doris Eslinger]

I just want to make an observation: a couple times I came across a legal
description on a Treasurer's Deed containing only an abbreviated legal taken
from the tax bill.  I recently had to prepare a deed to convey title of a
property the client bought at a tax sale. The Treasurer's Deed lacks the
full legal description so I included both the abbreviated legal and the full
legal as the legal description.   What do the others do in that situation,
continue the error or correct it?

I have a legal in a Treasurer's Deed that begins as follows:

 

Section 23 Township 22 Range 00 Quarter 42

 

Huh? Does anyone understand what Range 00 and Quarter 42 means? 

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric
