How to Identify, Evaluate, and Address Easement Issues

 

Learn how to prevent negative impact on property use, development, and financing when you discover an easement.

Easements are sometimes discovered while performing due diligence on a property and can have a significant impact on the use or development of the property. This course will help you identify different types of easements, their potential impact on a project, methods for addressing issues created by the easement, and, if necessary, terminating or modifying easements to enable the use or development of a property. Failing to take easements into account can adversely impact a project and the ability to secure financing.
