Easements & Servitudes
Easements are a functional and cost effective way to convey a non-ownership interest in property. They can be used for many things such as land access, resource use, or even to prevent someone from using property in a certain way. Easements can also cause unforeseen problems for land owners. It is possible for an easement to form unintentionally and without the knowledge or consent of the property owner. Easements can also impact your ability to sell or transfer your property.
If you have questions or need help setting up or extinguishing an easement, we'd be happy to discuss your options with you.

Property Boundaries, Adverse Possession & Trespass
As the saying goes, "fences make good neighbors." But what if that fence isn't exactly on the line?
It's not uncommon for property use to change over time. One owner could inadvertently install a structure such as a shed, fence, or garden over a property line, or a tree that was used to mark a boundary could overgrow it's marker or be cut down. When disputes arise about where the line is drawn, both figuratively and literally, you need someone on your side who understands how best to enforce your rights and ensure that you get what you paid for. |
Zoning & Land Use
The use of property is constantly changing. Whether it's a new subdivision that grows up out of a farmstead, or commercial property that is close to the prior use, but not exact. Our experience working with local municipalities can help you get the results you need to use your property in the way you intend.
Eminent Domain
If a governmental entity has taken or inhibited your use of your property, you may be entitled to compensation for the taking. We'd be happy to discuss the matter and find out what type of remedies may be available to you.
