Easements

Easement Law Overview

Easements can arise in various situations, and we provide comprehensive assistance to clients in all of them.

When purchasing property, we review easements of record to assess their impact on the property, ensuring that buyers have both legal and practical access, including for vehicles and utilities.

We also assist clients who wish to vacate an easement on their property or remove an easement from the title commitment’s Exhibit B exception list. If necessary, we can file a quiet title action to resolve any disputes and clarify the easement rights of the parties involved.

Additionally, we represent property owners whose neighbors request an easement across their land, as well as those seeking to obtain easements on another property.

For real estate developers, we help establish necessary easements within their developments, such as road access and utility easements.

Our customized easement forms are carefully drafted to avoid litigation and to address potential areas of misunderstanding or conflict. Like all our contracts, they are written in clear, simple language and organized for easy understanding.
