Address Easement Issues And Protect Your Property Interests

An easement is a right granted to another party to use a portion of your property for a specific purpose—a utility company’s right to access underground lines, a neighbor’s right of way across your land, or a conservation easement restricting how you can develop your property. While some easements are necessary and beneficial, others burden your property unnecessarily, limit your use and enjoyment, restrict your ability to sell or develop, and reduce your property value. Sverd Law Firm has successfully handled easement disputes on behalf of property owners seeking to enforce, terminate, or modify easements that no longer serve their original purpose or that were improperly granted.

The Problem With Unnecessary Easements

An easement may have been granted decades ago for a purpose that no longer exists—a utility line that was relocated, a road access that is no longer used, or conservation restrictions that predate current zoning. Despite the changed circumstances, the easement remains recorded against your title and continues to burden your property. In other cases, an easement was granted improperly, without adequate consideration or proper legal authority. An easement can complicate refinancing, deter potential buyers, and prevent you from developing your property as you wish. You should not have to accept perpetual restrictions on land you own.
