<p class="MsoNormal">Client is looking at buying a vacant lot on which to build a house over looking the Strait. The property is subject to a an easement creating a pathway for public use to access the beach. As the path winds down towards the beach it becomes
very steep. Presently there is only a rope to help people descend to the beach. What is a property owner’s liability if people are injured using the path? Is he protected if he puts a warning sign at the front of the path?<o:p></o:p></p>
