My question involves an easement in the state of: MA
I know you're not my lawyer. I do know I need a lawyer. Performing my due diligence with you fine experienced folks beforehand.
We bought a house that is the servient estate with a recorded easement providing the dominant estate a relatively short strip of land for all purposes for which a passageway may be used. The easement was created in the early part of the twentieth century, and is a total of two sentences, recorded in the relevant deeds.
There are a number of issues at play, but my question to you is about the aerial electrical and cable wires strung above the passageway in question. Electrical service is provided by the town, and there is no recorded easement for same. The town electrical department does realize this, but it was a very recent realization. Electrical wires have been there for over 20 years. Cable wires were installed last year by a local cable co.
We have title insurance. Extra recorded easements will, I assume, impact our property value, as lot sizes are small.
What would you do, to a)protect your property and b)to ensure your compliance with mortgage lender's requirements?
