Georgia Court of Appeals

Sheila Trowell Morris v. Lois Inez Byrd

A16A1070 August 18, 2016 Reversed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether an express easement described vaguely in a deed could be enforced despite lacking a specific key for location or width. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's summary judgment, holding that general language in a deed is sufficient to convey property and does not require extrinsic evidence to complete the description.
