FAQ
An easement is a nonpossessory right to use and/or enter onto the real property of another without possessing it. It is "best typified in the right of way which one landowner, A, may enjoy over the land of another, B".
Give the document a simple title: Grant of Easement is sufficient. Identify the parties. You need to explain who the parties are to the agreement. The person granting the easement to his property is the Grantor and the person gaining access to the property is the Grantee.
An easement is a limited right to use another person's land for a stated purpose. Examples of easements include the use of private roads and paths, or the use of a landowner's property to lay railroad tracks or electrical wires.
Easements are treated as a recovery of the basis of the property first, with any excess proceeds treated as capital gain, which is taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income. The basis of property that offsets an easement is limited to the basis of the affected acres or square footage.
If an easement is 50 rods long, that is almost an acre. In a recent case, a pipeline company paid some owners $180 per rod and others $767 per rod for the same project.

Generally speaking, an easement is a more serious property right; it is the legal right to use someone else's land for a particular purpose. Easements are often recorded at the county clerk's office and encumber your property's title.Here, however, you probably do not need to take the step of granting an easement.
How much money should landowners get when an oil or gas pipeline crosses their land? As it stands, landowners receive a one-time payment roughly based on the length of the pipeline, with rates varying from $5 to $50 per foot or more for a Marcellus or Utica shale pipeline right-of-way agreement.
An easement deed allows a party that is not the owner to use a portion of the land. It is a written agreement between two parties that spells out what part of the property is available for access and how it may be used. Since you are granting an easement to your land, you can set any terms and conditions you like.
