An easement is the non-possessory and non-ownership right of one person to use the real property of another person for a specific use. The specific instrument that creates such right is the easement deed. An easement deed in Kansas can be created for a variety of purposes: rights of way, access points, solar easements, and so on. Easements can be created by deed, by necessity, or by order of law.

Every instrument that conveys any estate or interest created by any lease or easement involving wind or solar resources and technologies to produce and generate electricity should include the requirements listed in section 58-2272 of the Kansas Annotated Statutes. Conservation easements are defined in 58-3810 of the Kansas Annotated Statutes. Easement deeds are subject to the recording and conveying rules of other real property instruments.

As a real property instrument, an easement deed must be signed and acknowledged by the grantor or by the grantor's agent or attorney in accordance with the uniform law on notarial acts and with KSA 58-2216 (58-2209). An easement deed should be acknowledged before a person authorized by the uniform law on notarial acts to perform notarial acts, or, if acknowledged in Kansas, by a county clerk, register of deeds, or mayor or clerk of an incorporated city (58-2211). If a grantor dies before acknowledging the deed or if for any other reason the grantor cannot be procured in order to make the acknowledgement or, if the grantor refuses to acknowledge the easement deed, the proof of the execution and delivery of the deed can be made by any competent testimony (58-2214). A certificate or proof of acknowledgement can be given under seal or otherwise, according to the method by which the courts or officers granting the same usually authenticate their notarial acts (58-2217).

An unrecorded easement deed in writing will be valid between the parties to the deed and those who have actual notice thereof, until it is recorded by the register of deeds in the county where the property is located (58-2223). An easement deed that has been certified and recorded in the manner provided by statute, will, from the time of filing with the register of deeds for record, impart notice to all persons of the contents of the deed; and all subsequent purchasers and mortgagees will be deemed to purchase with notice (58-2222).

Deeds.com had much better and fuller information than any other help i found (90% complete vs 60 % complete); they tout how up-to-date they are on all the counties in the country and the idiosyncrasies of each county's forms and procedures; but some minor points of the info i needed were missing or confusing. Including that they sold me on e-Recording my deed through them, only to find out after i had done all the prep for that, that they had failed to tell me upfront (or i missed it somehow) that the county i was dealing with did not yet accept online recording. So, they were by far the best i found, but not 100%.

The service itself is great, but the deed sample I ordered wasn't as accurate as I'd hoped. I needed to correct and resubmit. Not a huge deal, but a bit of an inconvenience.

I am researching forms required to change deed from joint owners to individual. Subsequently, forms required when/after a trust is established for real property.
