Property Ownership
A Virginia property is described using a metes and bounds description that starts at a 'point of beginning' (POB). The description must:
AStart and end at different points
BReturn to and close at the point of beginning to create a complete boundary✓ Correct
COnly describe the north boundary
DBe in GPS coordinates
Explanation
A valid metes and bounds description must close — the final course must return to the point of beginning, creating a complete, enclosed boundary. An unclosed description is defective.
