A North Carolina Deed of Easement for Slope Purposes is an agreement between two parties — the grantor (the individual or entity granting the easement) and the grantee (the individual or entity receiving the easement) — that grants the grantee the right to access, maintain, and/or use the land granted by the granter for the purpose of controlling or preventing erosion, landslides, or other slope-related hazards. This type of deed of easement is commonly used in North Carolina to protect property from potential damage caused by natural disasters such as landslides, mudslides, or soil erosion. There are two types of North Carolina Deed of Easement for Slope Purposes: a perpetual easement and a term easement. A perpetual easement is an agreement that grants the grantee the right to access, maintain, and/or use the land granted by the granter for an indefinite period of time. A term easement, on the other hand, specifies a set period of time for the grantee to use the land granted by the granter. Both types of easement are subject to certain conditions and restrictions and must be properly recorded in the county where the land is located.
