–The legal description is found on your deed or your deed
of trust. It is usually
in that big pack of papers you got when you bought your house.
–The legal description will look something like: lot 4, Highland Heights, a subdivision in Independence, Jackson
County, Missouri
according to the recorded plat thereof.
–Sometimes the legal description will be a description
like: beginning at the SW corner of Section 41, township 12, range 8,
then east 150 ft,
thence proceed south for a distance of 200 ft, thence west 140 ft, thence on a straight line to the point
of beginning.
