Description

This form is an agreement to convey the use or benefit of a tract of land to another party for a specific limited purpose without giving the party the right to possess, take from, improve or sell the tract of land. A Virginia Deed of Easement is a legal document that allows a landowner to grant another party, such as a utility company, permission to use or enter onto their property for a specific purpose. The purpose of the easement can range from the construction and maintenance of a public roadway or utility line to a private agreement between two landowners to use a portion of one’s property for recreational or farming purposes. The party granting the easement, known as the granter, typically retains ownership of the property, but they must relinquish certain rights as outlined in the deed. Types of Virginia Deed of Easement include: 1. Conservation Easements: This type of easement is designed to protect natural resources, including land, water, and wildlife. 2. Utility Easements: These are often granted to utility companies to build and maintain power lines or pipelines for gas, water, or sewage. 3. Access Easements: This type of easement allows access to land or property for specific purposes, such as agricultural or recreational activities. 4. Private Easements: These are usually agreements between two private landowners that allow one party to use a portion of the other’s land for a specific purpose, such as farming.
