Description

This form is a release fo easement. A Wisconsin Release of Easement is a legal document that formally terminates or releases an existing easement. An easement is a legal right that allows someone to use or access another person's property for a specific purpose. This document is commonly used when the easement is no longer needed or when there is a need to modify or remove the easement. In Wisconsin, there are different types of Release of Easement documents that can be utilized depending on the specific circumstances. These variations include: 1. Voluntary Release of Easement: This type of release occurs when both parties involved, the granter (owner of the property with the easement) and the grantee (person benefiting from the easement), agree to terminate the easement voluntarily. It is executed through a written agreement and should be recorded with the county clerk's office to ensure its legal validity. 2. Release of Easement by Abandonment: If an easement has not been used or exercised for a certain period of time, it may be considered abandoned. In such cases, the property owner can file a Release of Easement by Abandonment to formally terminate the easement rights. It typically requires evidence that the easement has been unused, unequivocally abandoned, or not needed for the intended purpose. This evidence is crucial to prevent future disputes regarding the terminated easement. 3. Release of Landlocked Easement: In situations where one property solely depends on an easement across another property for access, the owner of the landlocked property may seek a Release of Landlocked Easement. This document releases the rights of the landlocked property owner to use the easement and may involve negotiations regarding alternative access routes or compensation. 4. Release of Easement by Merger: Sometimes, when the same person or entity becomes the owner of both the dominant (benefiting) and serving (burdened) properties, the easement rights can be extinguished by merger. In this scenario, a Release of Easement by Merger is used to terminate the easement rights as the properties are now under the same ownership. It is important to understand that a Wisconsin Release of Easement is a legally binding document, and all parties involved should consult an attorney to ensure compliance with state laws and to protect their respective interests. Proper recording of the release with the county clerk's office is essential for establishing a clear property title and avoiding any future disputes related to the easement.
