This document serves as a binding contract between {Grantor’s Name}, hereafter known as “Grantor,” and {Grantee’s Name}, hereafter known as “Grantee,” signed {date}.

□ The easement agreement is appurtenant, in that it will remain with the land even if the Grantor/Grantee relocate, die or transfer the property title to an heir. Transfer of ownership does not invalidate the agreement.

□ The contract is an easement in gross, in that it is only legally binding between the explicitly stated Grantor and Grantee. Any transfer of ownership will terminate the agreement.
