Get Mi Agreement For Conservation Easement 2011-2024

A conservation easement is a tool used to help you protect your land and to conserve the natural, scenic, or rural qualities of the land for today and for future generations.

Are There Any Disadvantages? The biggest disadvantage of creating a conservation easement is that once the entire plot or portion is put into the land trust, the agreement “runs with the land.” This means it is permanent and binding to all future land owners or heirs and they cannot adjust the terms or terminate.

Michigan law currently provides a remedy to lack of access, providing for an “implied easement” over lands from which the landlocked parcel was created (or “split out”). Thus, owners of landlocked property frequently have legally authorized alternatives to requesting a road easement over state land.

The owner of the land over which the easement runs is not allowed to interfere with the easement, even though the owner owns title to that land.

Such easement shall not be less than 66 feet in width. (b) The center of the traveled portion of the road shall be located in the center of the private road easement.

A utility easement gives a utility the right to use and access a specific area of a property without owning the parcel. As with any contract, though, there are legal factors to consider, and landowners are encouraged to consult an attorney before agreeing to a utility easement.
