Description

This is a sample form for use in transactions involving easements, a Grant of Easement and Joint Use Agreement. Grants easement for the purpose of supplying irrigation water to the Grantees parcel of land for farming. 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 Grant of Easement and Joint Use Agreement is a legal document that governs the use and access rights to a particular property or area in Contra Costa County, California. It is typically established between two parties, the granter (property owner) and the grantee (entity requiring access or use rights). In Contra Costa County, there are various types of Grant of Easement and Joint Use Agreements, depending on the specific purpose and scope of the agreement: 1. Utility Easement Agreement: This type of agreement grants utility companies the right to access the property for installing, maintaining, and repairing utility lines, such as water, gas, or electric lines. The agreement outlines the responsibilities, restrictions, and compensation (if any) associated with these rights. 2. Road or Access Easement Agreement: This type of agreement allows neighboring properties or entities to use a portion of the property for road access or right-of-way purposes. It determines the extent of access granted, maintenance responsibilities, and any compensation or restrictions related to the use of the easement. 3. Conservation Easement Agreement: This type of agreement is commonly used when the property owner wants to conserve and protect the land's natural resources, wildlife habitats, or scenic landscapes. The agreement may limit certain development activities and outline the responsibilities of both parties to ensure the conservation objectives are met. 4. Joint Use Agreement: A Joint Use Agreement typically applies to shared facilities or infrastructure, allowing multiple parties to share and access certain areas or resources on a property.

They provide a clear legal framework to avoid conflicts and ensure mutual understanding between the granter and grantee.
