UNDERSTANDING EASEMENTS - WHAT IS BEING ACQUIRED?

This one day seminar will benefit participants by giving them the ability to competently analyze the property rights appraised regarding an appraisal of property encumbered with one or more easements. The participants will learn how easement language/provisions can affect the use and value of property, and they will learn to distinguish the physical characteristics of an easement (size/width/location) from the legal characteristics.

The participants will also learn to identify the rights that are conveyed by an easement, and determine what rights remain with the property owner. This important issue allows the participant to understand how the utilization and highest and best use of a property may be affected by the impressment of an easement. An understanding of these issues will enable the participants to produce credible appraisal reports pertaining to properties encumbered with easements. This seminar utilizes a powerpoint presentation to illustrate several key points.

DEVELOPMENTS AND EASEMENTS - CAN THEY CO-EXIST?

This one day seminar takes an in-depth look at how properties which are encumbered with easements are developed and what potential damage issues exist depending on the type of easement, size of easement, location of easement and number of easements. The material also includes discussion about how to measure/quantify the effect of the specific damage issues once they are identified and proven to exist.

Emphasis is placed on land suitable for residential development, though the material also addresses commercial and industrial uses. Before an appraiser is able to opine about damages to the development potential of a property, the appraiser must be able to objectively consider how the potential uses may be impacted. This seminar utilizes a powerpoint presentation to illustrate several key points.
