<p><font size="3" color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Listmates, For years I have used self extinguishing easements to resolve certain boundary line disputes and for drain fields etc. I grant the easement with the condition
that upon the happening of an event ( the fence is removed, public sewer becomes available, etc) then the easement terminates. I am now meeting resistance from an opposing attorney. No stated reason, just resistance. Has anyone had one of these challenged?
Have I been using this technique in error for the last 34 years? As always, the opinion of the collective is much appreciated. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
