Topics: Easements and Deeds & Descriptions
Easements:
Easement agreements are necessary for temporary trespass onto another’s land, waterway or airspace. Although rights of way are the most common, you may need to draft an easement for utilities, encroachment or telephonic communications. There are critical legal issues and practical considerations involved. Whether you are assessing the impact of the easement on property use or finding the most strategic way of obtaining access, this presentation will help. This presentation will cover a number of objectives giving up-to-date information on creating easements, locating and defining their course, preparation of easement descriptions, easement kinds and purpose along with easement reversion.
Deeds and Descriptions:
This session will address key issues with regard to Deeds and Descriptions. Included will be information on understanding the purpose of a land description and who should prepare one, along with the importance of intent. It will cover survey terminology and definitions. Part of the presentation will be keys on how to research land records to check for adjoining property and indexes to land records. There will be a section on essential elements of a description as well as types of descriptions and common errors found.
A presentation and discussion on several pertinent court cases pertaining to Deeds and Descriptions will also be a part of this session.
