sons for owners of parcels less than 50 acres in size to be cautious about granting stand-alone easements.
Myth #5 - Easements are inflexible, “lock you in,” prohibit agricultural use of the land.
Wrong. In granting an easement, one is subject only to restrictions clearly expressed in the easement document. Virginia easements are intended to allow and support agricultural and forest uses. If you don’t explicitly give away an ownership right, you still have it.
Myth #6 - Easement properties can't be sold.
Wrong. Rappahannock’s land records show sales of many easement-protected properties, sometimes for more than you might expect, sometimes for less.
Myth #7 - You can’t borrow money against easementprotected land.
Wrong. Area banks routinely sign easements covering properties on which they hold mortgages. Refinancing to landowmer benefit often occurs at the time of an easement gift.
Myth #8 - The easement donation process is expensive due to legal and appraisal fees.
