What effect does a CE have on a landowners ability to sell or pass the land to his or her heirs?
The landowner continues to own the property after executing an easement. Therefore, the owner can sell, give or lease the property, as before. However, all future owners assume ownership of the property subject to the conditions of the easement. Evidence of the easement will be clear during a title search of the property, so no future owner will be surprised by its existence.
