Easement questions do not arrive on a schedule. They surface during closings, when a neighbour erects a fence, when a utility company shows up to dig, or when a survey finally gets read closely.

Easement matters rarely have a single correct answer. The right move depends on the recorded instruments, the history of use, your longer-term plans for the property, and how much risk you are willing to carry. We apply that judgment differently for every matter.

Types of easement we handle

Access & right-of-way easements

Allowing one property owner to cross another’s land to reach a public road. These arise regularly on rural and semi-rural parcels.
Easement by necessity

Recognised under Georgia law where a parcel has no other reasonable means of access and must cross adjacent land.
Prescriptive easements

Can arise where someone has used another’s property openly, continuously, and without permission for long enough to establish a legal right.
Conservation easements

Restrict certain kinds of development to protect natural resources. Granting one can carry significant tax consequences worth understanding first.
