Book Reviews of Writing Legal Descriptions

Book Review: One of the Standard Texts for Land Surveying college courses
Summary: 5 Stars

Although this book was written something like 40 years ago, it is still one of the four standard texts that almost all college courses in Land Surveying require: Brown & Robillard's two "Boundary Control and Evidence" texts, the BLM Manual of Instructions on the Public Land Survey System, and G. Wattles on Legal Descriptions. Gurdon Watttles and his father were both surveyors in Southern California - Gurdon in the Title industry - and the contents of this text reflect this background, i.e. a California orientation, but the practice of writing a good property boundary description is universal and this book is the gold standard in that field.

Summary of Writing Legal Descriptions

This book is a must for anyone who works with or writes legal descriptions. Each of the fourteen chapters is structured for the self teaching student or for class participation. Each chapter concludes with assignments, exercises, questions and answers. Supported by extensive court citations, the author presents the material in a concise style which can be understood by the student, practitioner, or attorney. The text is supported by samples, recommended forms, and extensive illustrations.
