Before purchasing property, it is important to understand how an easement may be limiting use of the land. Also, you may need an easement across a neighbor’s property to protect your legal rights.
When considering purchasing or making improvements to land, it’s important to know where your rights begin and end. One of the most common legal tools used to define property access and use is an easement.
At Assertion Law Firm LLC, we help individuals, businesses, and landowners draft, review, and record easement agreements that protect their property interests and avoid costly disputes.
