This discussion provides an overview of fundamental concepts in real property law. They explain different types of ownership interests, including fee simple estates, outlining the rights associated with owning land and attached structures. The texts also discuss how property interests are transferred, covering topics like deeds, mortgages as security interests, and recording statutes. Furthermore, they explore nonpossessory interests in property, such as easements, covenants, and servitudes, which affect how land can be used, alongside the government's power of eminent domain and the restrictions imposed by zoning laws. The sources highlight the legal doctrines and procedures surrounding these concepts.TakeawaysNon-possessory rights include easements, profits, and covenants.Easements allow use of another's land; profits allow resource extraction.Covenants can be real or equitable, affecting enforcement options.The Restatement Third of Property aims to unify property interests under servitudes.Moral obligation to keep promises is a key reason for enforcing covenants.Dead hand control concerns arise with perpetual restrictions.Traditionally, courts favored enforcing easements over real covenants and equitable servitudes. The American Law Institute's Restatement (Third) of the Law of Property unified these concepts under the term "servitudes" to simplify and rationalize the law.A prospective owner could purchase the property at its lower, encumbered market price and simultaneously negotiate and pay the holder of the servitude an amount to release it. This allows the purchaser to acquire the property free of the restriction.The two essential conditions are that the property must be used for a "public purpose only," and the property owner must be "compensated at fair market value."Inverse condemnation is an action initiated by a property owner when government regulation is so substantial that it effectively amounts to a taking, even without formal condemnation proceedings. Direct eminent domain is the government explicitly using its power to take private property.The "bundle of rights" concept views property ownership not as a single right, but as multiple distinct rights that can be held separately. Key rights include the right to possess, use, exclude others, enjoy benefits, and transfer interests. (Any two of these are acceptable).Fee simple is an estate of indefinite duration in real property that can be freely transferred. It is considered the most common and absolute type of estate, granting the owner the greatest discretion over the property's disposal.An estate for years is a leasehold that endures for a fixed, predetermined period and ends automatically without notice. A periodic tenancy endures for successive intervals (e.g., month to month) until properly terminated by notice equal to the length of the period (or as prescribed by statute).In most jurisdictions, a landlord has a duty to make reasonable efforts to re-let vacated premises if a tenant wrongfully abandons the lease. This duty is to reduce the landlord's losses and prevent them from allowing the property to remain empty while still suing for the full rent owed.Adverse possession is a legal doctrine allowing a trespasser to acquire valid title to land by occupying it in a continuous, exclusive, open, notorious, and hostile manner for a statutory period. The public policy motivation is to reward productive land use, quiet title disputes, and resolve boundary issues, discouraging neglected property.A grant deed is written proof that the property title is owned free and clear of claims or liens and promises that the property hasn't been sold to anyone else. A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor has in the property, without making any warranties or guarantees about the title.property law, non-possessory interests, easements, covenants, eminent domain, legal concepts, law students, property rights, zoning, land use

This conversation delves into the complexities of shared property rights, focusing on concurrent ownership, leasehold estates, and non-possessory interests. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding different types of co-ownership, such as tenancy in common and joint tenancy, and their implications for property rights. It also covers leasehold estates, emphasizing the distinction between various types of leases and the duties of landlords and tenants. Finally, the conversation explores non-possessory interests, including easements and covenants, and their role in property law.TakeawaysUnderstanding concurrent ownership is crucial for property law exams.Different types of co-ownership dictate rights and responsibilities.Tenancy in common allows independent action without permission from others.Joint tenancy includes the right of survivorship, which has significant implications.Severance can occur through sale or partition, affecting ownership rights.Tenancy by the entirety offers protection for married couples.Leasehold estates separate ownership from possession for a limited time.The covenant of quiet enjoyment protects tenants from substantial interference.Landlords have a duty to maintain habitable conditions for tenants.Easements provide nonpossessory rights to use another's land.In a tenancy in common, there is no right of survivorship; a deceased co-tenant's interest passes to their heirs or devisees. In a joint tenancy, the right of survivorship means the surviving joint tenant(s) automatically inherit the deceased co-tenant's share.The four unities are unity of time (interests acquired simultaneously), unity of title (interests acquired through the same instrument), unity of interest (identical interests), and unity of possession (equal right to possess the whole property).Severance can occur through sale, partition, or sometimes mortgage. Severance breaks the unities for the transferred share and converts the co-ownership of that share into a tenancy in common.Tenancy by the entirety provides strong protection against unilateral alienation and individual creditor claims, as neither spouse can sell, encumber, or transfer the property alone, nor can individual creditors reach the property unless both spouses are liable.Partition in kind physically divides the property into separate parcels for each co-tenant. Partition by sale orders the property to be sold and the proceeds divided among the co-tenants.An estate for years is a leasehold estate that endures for a fixed, predetermined period. It terminates automatically upon the expiration of the term without the need for notice.Constructive eviction occurs when a landlord's wrongful acts or omissions substantially interfere with a tenant's use and enjoyment, making the premises uninhabitable or unsuitable for their intended purpose. The tenant may terminate the lease and seek damages if they provide notice and vacate within a reasonable time.The implied warranty of habitability requires landlords, primarily in residential leases, to provide and maintain premises fit for human habitation, meeting basic standards of safety, sanitation, and structural integrity.An affirmative easement grants the right to use or enter another's land for a specific purpose. A negative easement restricts the servient owner from certain uses of their land, such as blocking light, air, or support.Equitable servitudes are enforced in equity by injunction and require intent, touch and concern, and notice, but not privity of estate. Real covenants are enforceable at law through damages and require intent, privity of estate, touch and concern, and notice.shared property rights, concurrent ownership, leasehold estates, non-possessory interests, tenancy in common, joint tenancy, easements, covenants, property law

This lecture covers the essential aspects of real property law, focusing on concurrent ownership, leasehold estates, and non-possessory interests. It begins with an exploration of concurrent ownership types, including tenancy in common, joint tenancy, and tenancy by the entirety, along with remedies like partition. The discussion then shifts to leasehold estates, detailing various forms and their implications for landlords and tenants. Finally, the lecture delves into non-possessory interests, including easements, covenants, and licenses, providing a comprehensive overview of property rights and responsibilities.This lecture provides an overview of various aspects of real property law, building on previous discussions of possessory estates. It first examines concurrent ownership, where multiple parties hold simultaneous interests in property, covering tenancy in common, joint tenancy, and tenancy by the entirety, and discussing remedies like partition. The text then explores leasehold estates, including estates for years, periodic tenancies, and tenancies at will, outlining the rights and duties of landlords and tenants, such as the covenant of quiet enjoyment and the implied warranty of habitability. Finally, the lecture addresses nonpossessory interests, such as easements created through different methods, real covenants, equitable servitudes, and licenses, explaining their creation and enforceability.TakeawaysConcurrent ownership allows multiple parties to hold interests in the same property.Tenancy in Common is the default form of concurrent ownership.Joint Tenancy includes the right of survivorship, which can be severed.Tenancy by the Entirety is exclusive to married couples and offers protection against individual creditors.Partition is a remedy for co-owners to terminate co-ownership.Leasehold estates grant exclusive possessory rights for defined periods.An estate for years ends automatically upon expiration without notice.Periodic tenancies require proper notice for termination.Tenancies at will can be terminated by either party at any time.Easements are non-possessory rights to use another's land for specific purposes.Real Property Law, Concurrent Ownership, Leaseholds, Non-Possessory Interests, Tenancy in Common, Joint Tenancy, Tenancy by the Entirety, Leasehold Estates, Easements, Covenants

Property Law Lecture 2 Ownership, Use, and Transfer of Property Introduction to Ownership and Possession Ownership and possession are fundamental concepts in property law. Ownership refers to the legal right to control, use, and dispose of property. It can be further divided into legal ownership (formal title recognized by law) and equitable ownership (beneficial interest, often arising in trusts). Possession refers to physical control or occupancy of the property. It can be actual (physical occupation) or constructive (control without physical occupation). Possession and ownership are intertwined but distinct. For example, a tenant possesses a rental property but does not own it. Courts may rely on possession as evidence of ownership, especially for lost or abandoned property. The distinction between ownership and possession is crucial in property law and legal doctrines such as adverse possession. Land Use and Zoning Land use regulations balance private property rights with public interests like environmental protection and urban planning. Zoning laws are a primary tool for regulating land use. They divide land into zones (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial) with specific permitted and prohibited activities. Zoning promotes orderly development, protects property values, encourages environmental stewardship, and supports public welfare goals. However, zoning laws can also be controversial. Critics argue that they can perpetuate segregation and restrict affordable housing. Legal challenges often focus on their constitutionality, especially under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Eminent domain is the government's power to take private property for public use with just compensation. The scope of "public use" has been debated, with the Supreme Court expanding it to include economic redevelopment in Kelo v. City of New London (2005). This decision sparked backlash, and many states enacted laws to limit the use of eminent domain for economic purposes. Private Land Use Controls Private agreements, such as easements, covenants, and equitable servitudes, can also control land use. Easements grant one party the right to use another's property for a specific purpose. They can be appurtenant (benefitting a specific parcel of land) or in gross (benefitting an individual or entity). Easements can be created through express agreements, implication, necessity, or prescription. Covenants are contractual agreements between property owners that restrict or mandate certain land uses. Equitable servitudes are similar to covenants but are enforced through equitable remedies. Nuisance law addresses conflicts arising from one property owner's use interfering with another's enjoyment of their property. Transfer of Property Property transfers can be voluntary (e.g., through deeds) or involuntary (e.g., through foreclosure, tax sales, or escheat). Deeds are written documents that transfer ownership of real property. Types of deeds include general warranty deeds (highest level of protection for the buyer), special warranty deeds (limited protection), and quitclaim deeds (no warranties). Involuntary transfers occur due to legal or financial circumstances, such as foreclosure (forced sale to satisfy a debt), tax sales (seizure for unpaid taxes), or escheat (transfer to the state when an owner dies without heirs or a will). Property transfers also involve contracts for sale (outlining terms of the agreement) and escrow arrangements (neutral third party holding funds and documents until conditions are met). Title searches and title insurance protect buyers by verifying ownership and protecting against title defects. Conclusion Understanding property law principles, including ownership, use, and transfer, is crucial for navigating real estate transactions and disputes. These principles balance individual rights with societal interests, shaping land use and property ownership.

Kelsey Molloy is the Northern Great Plains Director at The Nature Conservancy and Angel DeVries is the Executive Director of the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance (RSA)– they both live and work on the Northern Great Plains in Malta, Montana. While they work for different organizations, Kelsey and Angel collaborate on a long list of critical projects, most of which are focused on grassland conservation, ranching, and community partnerships.  One of their most notable collaborations involves the Matador Ranch, a 60,000-acre TNC-owned property near Dodson, Montana. The Matador Ranch is home to an outside-the-box conservation initiative known as a grassbank, which is a partnership opportunity that offers ranchers grazing access to rich grasses in exchange for adopting sustainable practices on their own property. This grassbank was introduced during the historic drought of the early 2000s, and it offered much needed grazing opportunities for ranching families whose homeplaces had been hit hard by the dry conditions. Since then, for the past 20+ years, the grassbank has continued to provide win-win solutions for ranchers and conservation-focused non-profit organizations, as well as helping to bolster trust, goodwill, and community cohesiveness. As you'll hear in this conversation, the grassbank has been such a success, the TNC is currently searching for another ranch to acquire and eventually transform into a community led and owned grassbank. This “grassbank 2.0” will not only provide a grazing safety net during times of drought, but will also further the work of providing opportunities for new or young ranchers who are just entering the business but do not yet have the capital to purchase their own land.  We connected via the magic of the internet, and had a wide-ranging conversation about their productive collaboration, grassbanks, challenges and opportunities in the Northern Great Plains, and more. We discussed the work of the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance, the history of the Matador Ranch, and the ins and outs of the Matador Ranch grassbank. We discussed how skyrocketing land values are making it nearly impossible for new ranchers to enter the business, and also how succession planning is becoming an important, but often underappreciated, issue for ranching families. We also talked a lot about the need for optimism and curiosity, the importance of building community, and how TNC and RSA are working to bridge cultural and geographic divides. We also learn about RSA's book club, which will likely be of great interest to many of you. I learned so much from this conversation and appreciate Kelsey and Angel taking time out of their busy schedules to chat with me.  Hope you enjoy! --- Kelsey Molloy Angel DeVries TNC Montana Ranchers Stewardship Alliance Full episode notes & links: https://mountainandprairie.com/kelsey-angel/ --- This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Colorado chapter of The Nature Conservancy and TNC chapters throughout the Western United States.

California has set ambitious climate goals, including phasing out the use of fossil fuels and becoming carbon neutral by 2045. Our guest today is here to talk about the role nature can play in meeting those goals. Laurie Wayburn is the co-founder and president of the Pacific Forest Trust and the chair of the California Natural and Working Lands Expert Advisory Committee. She was also the lead author of a recent report suggesting the state should invest “as much in nature-based climate solutions as it has in clean energy and transportation.” With proper forest management, California could capture 400 million tons of carbon each year, lower wildfire risk and vastly improve flood protection in the state. But, the $10 Billion price tag may be a hard sell in a down budget, even in climate-conscious California.Plus - Who Had the Worst Week in CA Politics?Episode Notes1:13 AB 17572:39 Offsets4:22 How to keep 400 million tons of carbon out of the atmosphere each year6:05 "The older a tree is, the more carbon it stores"6:31 "Working Forest"8:03 Reducing wildfire risk11:37 Federal lands vs. State lands14:15 Easements, private ownership and beavers19:06 Funding/costs23:08 Origin story: how did you come to this work?26:49 "That tree-hugging tree-cutting organization"30:38 #WWCA Sore loserWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Land use rights and zoning are critical components of property law and play a vital role in shaping the built environment. Land use rights define the permissible uses of a particular piece of land, while zoning regulations determine the specific types of development that are allowed in different areas. These regulations are designed to promote orderly development, protect the environment, and preserve the character of communities. Easements, Licenses, and Profits Easements, licenses, and profits are three types of legal interests in land that grant limited rights to use or benefit from the property of another. Easements are typically created to allow access to a particular piece of land, such as a driveway or utility line. Licenses are temporary permissions to use land for a specific purpose, such as a construction project or a special event. Profits are interests in land that allow the holder to extract resources from the property, such as minerals or timber. Covenants and Servitudes Covenants and servitudes are restrictions on the use of land that are created by agreement between landowners. Covenants are typically imposed by developers or homeowners' associations to maintain the uniformity and aesthetic appeal of a community. Servitudes are similar to easements, but they are created to benefit a specific piece of land rather than a person or entity. Zoning Laws and Regulations Zoning laws and regulations are enacted by local governments to control the use of land within their jurisdictions. These regulations typically divide a community into different zones, each with its own set of permitted uses. Zoning laws are designed to promote public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring that development is compatible with the surrounding area. Land Use Planning and Community Development Land use planning and community development are processes that involve the creation of comprehensive plans for the future development of a community. These plans typically include goals and objectives for land use, transportation, housing, and other aspects of community life. Land use planning and community development are important tools for promoting sustainable growth and improving the quality of life for residents. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Our conversations with Tyler Hinkle, Shenandoah County's Planner are part of an ongoing series following the work on Shenandoah 2045 - Shenandoah County's comprehensive plan. The planning process will unfold over the course of four years with the majority of the community collaboration occurring from 2020-2022, with input in 2023-2024. We took a break from our normal deep dive into the comprehensive planning process and talked instead about conservation easements. Joining us for that conversation was McKenzie Allen, an associate planner with Shenandoah County, and E.C. Myers from Conservation Partners. E.C. explained conservation easements, their benefits, and the process of creating one. A conservation easement is an agreement that limits the future use of a property to protect it from inappropriate development while still allowing the landowner to retain private ownership rights. We discussed the financial and environmental benefits of conservation easements, including tax credits and estate tax reductions. Our conversation also highlighted the flexibility and customization options for easements, as well as the importance of working with local easement authorities.

Things are dynamic when it comes to the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”). Among the most recent events is the introduction of the Voluntary Disclosure Program, which is designed for taxpayers that previously filed ERCs claims, got paid, later questioned their eligibility, and now want to give the money back with minimal financial downsides. This article, the latest in an ongoing series, compares methods used by the IRS in addressing conservation easement donations and ERCs, and then presents some questions to consider.

On today's show we are talking about conservation easements.  We tend to think of the income tax code as a mechanism for extracting revenue from the population and from businesses. To be fair, that is true. But there are thousands upon thousands of pages in the tax code.  You can describe how much a business or an individual needs to pay in income tax in a very small number of pages.  The remainder of those thousands of pages is primarily a series of incentives  Conservation easements are one of those incentives.  Under standard conservation easements, landowners give up development rights for their acreage to a land trust. In return, they receive a charitable deduction equal to the property's value, at its highest and best use, and the public benefits by the preservation of the land, which in some cases is made available as a park. In order to be eligible for conservation, the land must have actual conservation value. If the land was previously developed, it's unlikely that you would successfully argue that the property has conservation value. Conservation easements are more robust than zoning when it comes to protecting land. Zoning can be changed, and conservation easements are perpetual. But there have arguably been abuses of this provision that went beyond the original intent of the legislation. In particular, the so-called syndicated conservation easements have been deals where promoters would buy a piece of land for a low price and then go get an appraisal for the value of that land as development land, regardless whether there was any realistic development potential for that land. With that appraisal in hand, the land would be donated to a land trust and the promoter would claim a tax deduction for the appraised value of the property. ------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

Conservation easements are a tool used to preserve land for future generations. The New Omnibus Bill impacts conservation easements by increasing tax incentives for landowners who choose to conserve their land through easements. In addition, it encourages private landowners to participate in land conservation efforts and helps protect critical natural resources. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
