Easements, Restrictions and Covenants Committee

Mission

This committee focuses on the use of servitudes in both commercial and residential projects. Programs and written materials are prepared with particular emphasis on office buildings, shopping centers, and mixed-use projects. The committee analyzes competing uses of easements by utilities, cable television companies and other fiber optic users and the land use involved.

More About Us

We would like to be a source of answers to problems that arise in connection with easements, covenants and restrictions. Some easements allow the water company to place lines across your property. Other restrictions govern the operation of a shopping center or mixed use development. The body of law that underlies each is the same.

REPRESENTING LANDOWNERS in LAND CONSERVATION TRANSACTIONS
June 27, 2012
Conservation easements offer landowners a way to realize personal and financial objectives. Depending on their situation and objectives, landowners have a number of options, including selling easements, making full or partial donations of land or of interests; or creating a bequest. This one hour program examines basic conservation law and practice from the point of view of the landowner. Led by Leslie Ratley-Beach of The Land Trust Alliance, it is intended to provide attorneys engaged in real estate, land use, environmental, trust and estates, tax and general practice with a useful overview of the planning, drafting and administration of conservation easements.
