Re: Regular Disolution of Marriage

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The legal description is the way that the court system, the tax collector, and the property appraiser (among others) refers to your property. If your house is located in a subdivision which has been platted, it will read:

Lot ______, Block _______, ____________ Subdivision, according to the Plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book _______, at Page ______, of the Public Records of Pasco County, Florida.

(with all blanks filled in)

The legal description is found on your deed and can generally be found online in most counties by searching the tax collector's or property appraiser's web site.
