The Size And Description Of The Parcel Of Real Estate, Including Form

Use a The Size And Description Of The Parcel Of Real Estate, Including template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this real estate description form records

The Size And Description Of The Parcel Of Real Estate, Including Form records the identifying details used to describe a specific parcel, such as its location, dimensions, boundaries, and other property information supplied by the parties. It helps real estate professionals and property owners present the same description consistently in a transaction file. The form itself does not establish ownership or replace a deed, title report, survey, appraisal, or state-required recording document. Review every field against authoritative property records and applicable state requirements before signing or submitting it.

Who uses this parcel form

Real estate teams

Real estate brokerages can use the form to collect parcel details and signatures for transaction files, while staff compare every description against deeds, surveys, title materials, and applicable state requirements before circulation.

Property operations

Construction and property organizations can attach signed parcel descriptions to project records, approvals, or land-use files. The form supports coordination, but it does not replace a deed, survey, title report, or government recording requirement.

What the audit trail records

Recordkeeping practices for signed forms

Retain the completed parcel description with its source documents, signature evidence, and applicable transaction policy.

Set a documented retention period

Keep the completed form with the transaction file, source records, and signed audit trail. No single federal rule establishes a universal retention period for this property-description form; apply the transaction, lender, broker, and state-recordkeeping requirements governing your file.

Preserve the signed record

Export the completed PDF and audit trail after signing, then check that the parcel description, signer identities, timestamps, and final document version remain together. The audit trail supports authenticity but does not cure an inaccurate legal description.

Archive property files securely

Restrict access to authorized transaction participants and store the file in an approved repository. Remove unnecessary personal information from copies, while retaining the parcel information needed for title, closing, or dispute review.

Verify against source records

Compare dimensions, boundaries, parcel identifiers, and address information with the source deed, survey, or county record before distribution. Record who performed the comparison and resolve discrepancies before requesting signatures.

Risks of an incomplete parcel description

Boundary dispute

Description mismatch can create boundary disputes.

Incomplete description

Missing parcel details weaken evidentiary value.

Title review delay

Incorrect legal description delays title review.

Missing signature

Unsigned records may lack transaction evidence.

Legal standing and evidentiary value

A signed parcel-description form can help prove what the parties reviewed and approved when intent, attribution, consent, and reliable record retention are established under ESIGN and applicable UETA law. It does not replace a deed or title instrument, and ESIGN exceptions include wills, court orders, and certain family-law documents.

Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls

  • Copying a parcel description from an outdated deed can carry forward incorrect boundaries, dimensions, or identifiers into the transaction file.
  • Sending the form before confirming signer roles may leave an owner, broker, lender, or authorized representative without the required approval.
  • Sharing an unrestricted signing link can expose property information to unintended recipients or make attribution harder to establish.
  • A final PDF without its audit trail may provide less evidence about signer identity, timing, consent, and document integrity.

Questions about parcel description signing

These answers address field accuracy, signer evidence, plan capabilities, and the legal limits of electronic signing for this property-description form.

Upload the source PDF and review signNow’s detected fields before sending. Auto-detection can identify fillable areas, but staff must confirm that parcel identifiers, dimensions, boundaries, and signer fields match the source record. Correct the form before placing signature or date fields.

The Business plan costs $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, and mobile apps. It includes 100 signature invites per user annually; confirm current overage terms before scaling this workflow.

Business Premium is the signNow plan that includes bulk send, along with kiosk mode, request payments, and quick invite links. Use it only when the same parcel-description template must be distributed across multiple separate transactions or recipients.

ESIGN and UETA generally recognize electronic signatures when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention requirements are met. They do not turn this form into a deed, title instrument, survey, or state-recording document; confirm the transaction’s state requirements separately.

Export the completed PDF and audit trail from signNow after all required parties finish. Store both with the source deed, survey, or county record so the signed description can be evaluated against authoritative property information.

For consumer-facing electronic records, ESIGN requires disclosure of the right to receive paper, access to the electronic format, and a withdrawal procedure under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). Apply those requirements when the transaction involves a consumer signer.
