Are boundaries created by words in a legal document considered binding and legal?

Boundaries created by words in a legal document are considered binding and legal because legal documents, such as deeds, contracts, or other legal instruments, define the rights and responsibilities of parties involved. When these documents are drafted with clear and specific language, they outline the legal boundaries and the intent of the parties to establish those limits. Courts generally uphold these documents as legitimate expressions of the parties’ agreements unless there is a clear legal reason not to, such as ambiguity or fraud.

The language used in these documents provides the framework for legal ownership and control of the property, making the boundaries defined therein enforceable. The existence of a legal description, even if a survey has not been conducted, is crucial to establishing ownership and property rights. Thus, as long as the documents are properly executed and comply with legal standards, the boundaries described are recognized as binding and legal.
