Contracts

A South Dakota purchase agreement for a commercial property fails to include a legal description of the property. This contract is most likely:

AEnforceable because both parties know what property is being sold
BUnenforceable for lack of an adequate description of the subject matter✓ Correct
CEnforceable if the street address is included
DValid only if signed by both parties in front of a notary

Explanation

An adequate legal description is an essential element of a real estate contract. A description insufficient to identify the property with certainty can render the contract unenforceable.
