That is a nice legal description!  I remember a deed from a railroad once that said "all of the property owned by [the railroad company] in the County of [county] and State of Ohio."  If I remember correctly it was an exempt transfer from one railroad to another so the legal didn't really need to be approved.  Still I was surprised that the county accepted it.

I am likewise surprised that your county would accept that one.  In any regard, I think it would have been prudent to at least pull a copy of the referenced deed to provide the legal description to your client.  As abstractors we know better than to expect something like that to be filed and we should provide our clients with a legal description that is usable.  I would have charged them a copy fee for getting the copies, but I would have gotten it when I did the search and avoided a second, unnecessary trip.

Best,
Robert A. Franco
