Drafting Easements

 
The stated purpose in the easement is a very important in the drafting of an easement document. It is the purpose and limitations that are expressed in the easement that determine the property rights being given up by the record owner and the rights of use being received by the grantee. Without a clear statement of the purpose and conditions of the easement litigation may certainly arise as time goes on. Additionally, the statement of the purpose and conditions of the easement have bearing on how the unencumbered property value may be affected.
