Why You Should Attend:
Do you or your clients need access through an adjoining property?
Do you need new and somewhat unique easements? Is your
property subject to easements obtained by utility companies or the
government? As the way we divide property interests change, so do
easements and how we obtain them, value them and describe them.
Even if you have been working with easements for years, join us for
a very unique presentation that will inform you about new types of
easements being sought by government, the process that agencies use
to obtain easements; special valuation issues surrounding easements
and what you can do to protect your client and preserve their
property rights in the ever changing landscape of property rights.
