Which two documents would indicate the legal description of a property?

• A. The Title and The Building Location Certificate
• B. The Title and The Deed
• C. The Building Location Certificate and The Mortgage
• D. The Deed and The Title

Answer: (A)

The legal description is the exact, formal identification of the parcel used in records. The Title carries that official description (the lot number, plan, and other identifiers) as part of the land title. The Building Location Certificate ties the parcel to the specific building by showing where the structure sits on the lot, referencing the same lot/plan used in the title. Together, they indicate and confirm the property’s legal description in the records. Other documents either describe the building’s location rather than the land itself (the Building Location Certificate), or serve different purposes (like a Mortgage) and don’t provide the formal land description.
