Description

This is a sample form for use in transactions involving easements, a Utility Easement. Allows a permanent utility easement and right of way for water facilities. An easement gives one party the right to go onto another party's property. That property may be owned by a private person, a business entity, or a group of owners. Utilities often get easements that allow them to run pipes or phone lines beneath private property. Easements may be obtained for access to another property, called "access and egress", use of spring water, entry to make repairs on a fence or slide area, drive cattle across and other uses. The easement is a real property interest, but separate from the legal title of the owner of the underlying land. A Michigan Utility Easement is a legal agreement between the property owner and a utility company that allows the company to access and maintain their utility infrastructure located on or passing through the owner's property. This easement gives the utility company the right to access, install, repair, upgrade, and maintain their utility lines, pipes, cables, and equipment as needed.
