Metes and bounds. Metes and bounds is a system or method of describing land, real property (in contrast to personal property) or real estate. The system has been used in England for many centuries, and is still used there in the definition of general boundaries.
The legal descriptions used in Georgia (the metes and bounds, and plat map also known as the lot and block system) appear in Chapter 27. A legal description enters the real property transaction for the seller at the time he or she signs the listing agreement. It is a legal requirement in the sellerâs warranty deed and it also appears in the security deed.
