A: Yes, preparer's name at the top left is a requirement. Not exactly sure what you are trying to compare but legal ID is a number. Grantor's name must be the actual full name of the person or entity, which should match the name of the grantee from the immediately preceding deed. And yes, you must have a legal description, just copy it from the property appraiser's website.

This is an important document for typically a very large purchase. It is not a complicated form but it is technical. If you are unsure how to complete it, it is best to get a professional to prepare it for you.

Good luck.
