Step 3: Conservation Easement Drafting
While the appraisal, minerals assessment, and baseline reports are being completed by consultants, LPOSC staff and board members will review the title commitment and draft a Deed of Conservation Easement to suit the needs of the landowner and to meet the requirements of LPOSC. The landowner then reviews the drafted deed with their legal counsel and works with LPOSC to achieve both parties’ goals in conservation of the property. Legal descriptions, maps, and supporting documentation for the property are prepared and included as exhibits to the deed.
