Legal Description Services

A legal description provides an exact description of a property for all legal purposes — unlike informal descriptors such as a street address or fence line, which cannot accurately describe a property. Southwest Survey prepares legal descriptions when a new description is needed due to a land division, property line adjustment, easement, or other change to a parcel, throughout Southwest Michigan. Each description is prepared by licensed professional surveyors to the standards required by county recording offices, title companies, and attorneys.
