Technical descriptions
In legal language, with bearings and distances, ready for the deed.
What it is
The text describing the property boundary by boundary — bearing, distance and who adjoins each stretch — written the way a deed requires. It is what the notary copies into the instrument, so a mistake here travels to the registry.
Timing and coverage
How long it takes depends on the size of the land, the access and the vegetation: an urban lot is not the same as a hillside farm. I tell you when you ask, along with the price, before you commit to anything. I work in El Salvador.
When you need it
- Your notary asks for the technical description to draft the deed
- You have the drawing but not the text that goes with it
- The description in the old deed is incomplete or unclear
- A segregation was done and each part needs its own
What you get
- The technical description in Word and PDF, ready for the notary
- With the full location: department, municipality, district, canton and hamlet
- Bearings and distances spelled out, in the format the instrument expects
- The area in square metres and in square varas
What I need from you to start
- The drawing of the property, or the survey if not done yet
- The names of the adjoining owners on each bearing
- The owner name exactly as it will appear in the deed
