What Type of Lawyer Handles Easement and Road Maintenance Matters?
Full Question:
Answer:
Road associations can organize in a variety of ways. While some exist based upon verbal agreements, it is recommended to have a written agreement that is notarized and filed with the county recorder, making them legally binding to the individuals who have signed them and to future property owners. An agreement that allows establishment of property lien rights for fee collection is important. In some cases, a private road association takes the form of a homeowner's association or non-profit corporation.
