Grand Lodge of Georgia v. City of Thomasville

Supreme Court of Georgia

226 Ga. 4 (1970)

Relevant factsFree

A deed described the conveyed property using a metes-and-bounds description that included running "about eight acres" south and later "about six acres" north as directional distances, even though an acre is a measure of area, not length; the description's remaining calls depended on locating the endpoint of this incoherent measurement. A party argued on appeal that the deed's land description was too indefinite to be valid.

IssueFree

Whether a deed must contain a description of the conveyed land sufficient to make the land identifiable.
