Description
Easements are rights that grant one party the use of another's property. While easements are relatively common, they are often the subject of disputes including what is included in the scope of the easement and whether the property owner's activities interfere with the easement. Disputes may also arise as to whether an easement exists, as may be the case in adverse possession.
Resolving an easement dispute often hinges on the language of the easement agreement. Therefore, counsel should understand how to precisely define the easement and draft necessary provisions in the easement agreement to best protect their clients. When disputes arise, counsel should be able to guide their clients through settlement options to mitigate the risk of litigation, or if needed, create litigation strategies.
Listen as our expert panel provides a comprehensive overview of easements and potential disputes. The panel will discuss drafting considerations to mitigate the risk of disputes and litigation strategies should the matter progress.
