How to fill out light and air easement

How to fill out a light and air easement:

1. Begin by understanding the purpose of a light and air easement. This legal document grants someone the right to receive sunlight and maintain unobstructed air access on their property, even if neighboring construction or development may potentially block these elements.
2. Identify the parties involved. The easement holder is the person or entity entitled to the light and air rights, while the easement grantor is the individual or organization granting these rights. Both parties should be clearly identified in the document.
3. Specify the property. Clearly define the property that the light and air easement will apply to. This can be done by providing the property's legal description or by using a street address.
4. Describe the purpose and scope of the easement. Clearly state what rights the easement holder will have regarding light and air access. This may include the right to sunlight during certain hours or seasons, protection from obstructed views, or specific limitations on neighboring construction.
5. Determine the duration of the easement. Specify whether the easement is temporary or permanent. If it is temporary, include the specific start and end dates. If it is permanent, ensure that it is properly recorded and filed with the relevant government agency.
6. Include any conditions or limitations. Determine if there are any specific conditions or limitations for the light and air easement. For example, there may be restrictions on the height or location of any structures that could obstruct the easement holder's access.
7. Seek legal advice or consultation. As this is a legal document, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer or a real estate professional experienced in easements to ensure that all necessary information is included and that the document accurately reflects the intentions of the parties involved.
