| | To qualify for the tax deduction, easements must first meet the requirements of state law, including the applicable requirements of state law authorizing the granting of easements, and they must be enforceable. | | | A common example is an easement that is imposed as a condition for a grant of financial assistance from a state or governmental authority or a nonprofit organization. | | | Conservation and preservation easements are created under state law – most states have specific enabling laws that authorize the creation of conservation and preservation easements as discrete interests in real property. |

| | Conservation easement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Landowners who donate a "qualifying" conservation easement to a "qualified" land protection organization under the regulations set forth in 170(h) of the Internal Revenue Code may be eligible for a federal income tax deduction equal to the value of their donation. | | | In the United States, a conservation easement is an easement — a transfer of usage rights — which creates a legally enforceable land preservation agreement between a landowner and a qualified land protection organization (often called a "land trust"), for the purposes of conservation. | | | In accepting the conservation easement, the easement holder has a responsibility to monitor future uses of the land to ensure compliance with the terms of the easement and to enforce the terms if a violation occurs. |

| | Real Estate Law: Easement Basics |
| | Easements are usually created by conveyance in a deed or other written document such as a will or contract. | | | Easements give an easement holder the right to use or to prevent the use of property he or she does not own or possess. | | | As a general rule, an easement holder has a right to do "whatever is reasonably convenient or necessary in order to enjoy fully the purposes for which the easement was granted" as long as he or she does not unduly burden the servient land. |

| | A preservation easement may be accepted on a property in its present condition or on a property that the owner plans to rehabilitate, in which case the plans for rehabilitation become part of the preservation easement agreement. | | | An easement is a legal contract by which the owner agrees the property will not be changed in a way that would compromise its historic and architectural integrity. | | | In Oregon, a preservation easement is legally referred to as a "Conservation Easement."

| | An easement may apply to just a portion of the property, and need not require public access. | | | Land trusts can purchase land for permanent protection, or they may use one of several other methods: accept donations of land or the funds to purchase land, accept a bequest, or accept the donation of a conservation easement, which permanently limits the type and scope of development that can take place on the land. | | | The land trust is responsible for enforcing the restrictions that the easement document spells out. |

| | Once you have your temporary easement deed, it is always a good idea to notarize it and then file it in your county recording office (as with other types of property deeds that are filed, easements must always be filed in the county where the land is located) so that the easement will be enforceable. | | | Our temporary easement therefore is a legally binding document that you can use to grant someone access to your property so that various types of work can be completed on your home and/or land. | | | All you need to do to create your own customized temporary easement is provide us with some basic information about the parties involved, the property and its location, and some minimal facts about the work being done to the property. |

| | An easement may be created by express agreement of the parties, in which case it must usually be in writing (see Frauds, Statute of), or it may be implied by a court from the actions of the parties in certain circumstances. | | | At common law an easement in gross could not be transferred, but today it may be transferable. | | | If the easement benefits the holder personally and is not associated with any land he owns, it is an easement in gross (e.g., a public utility's right to run power lines through another's property). |

| | Although right-of-ways are the most common easements, there are many others such as rights to tunnel under another's land, to use a washroom, to emit smoke or fumes, to pass over with transmission towers, to access a dock and to access a well. | | | Synonymous to canon law: the body of church-made law which binds only those persons which recognize it, usually only church officers, and based on aged precepts of canon law. | | | Easements are also classified as negative (which prevents the servient land owner from doing certain things) or affirmative easements (the most common, which allows the beneficiary of the easement to do certain things, such as a right-of-way). |

| | The easement is itself a real property interest, but legal title to the underlying land is retained by the original owner for all other purposes. | | | Issues of maintenance, joint use, locking gates, damage to easement and other conflicts clog the judicial system, mostly due to misunderstandings at the time of creation. | | | Typical easements are for access to another property (often redundantly stated "access and egress," since entry and exit are over the same path), for utility or sewer lines both under and above ground, use of spring water, entry to make repairs on a fence or slide area, drive cattle across and other uses. |
