Grant of Easement with Warranty
Overview of this form
The Grant of Easement with Warranty is a legal document that allows one party to convey specific rights to another party regarding the use of a tract of land for a limited purpose. This form ensures that the easement is granted without transferring possession of the land itself. Different from a lease or license, this easement allows the grantee to use the property for utility purposes while providing protections for both parties involved.
