6. Do I need legal counsel throughout the easement process?
Yes, you do, especially if you want to buy a landlocked property in another state. When you don’t understand or don’t know local or state laws, the easement process could end up being a complete failure. In other words, it minimizes your chances of success. In the end, you don’t want to invest in a property you can’t sell.
Sadly, but understandable, people don’t want to hire lawyers because they are pretty expensive. So, you may want to hire local counsel. It will definitely save you some money. And even if your adjacent neighbor is nice, you still need to make sure that everything is done correctly and filed properly.
