Easements

An easement grants another person use of your property for a certain purpose (for example, permission to cross over a part of your property in order to access his or her own property). These arrangements are usually straightforward and do not involve compensation.

Most problems in easement cases occur when the wording is not specific enough about the purpose of the easement; this can cause problems when successive owners interpret the language differently.

If you are considering an easement agreement, you should speak with an attorney to ensure that your intent is accurately conveyed in the document. Call The Carnes Law Firm at 314-353-1001 to make an appointment for a consultation.
