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.
