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).

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.

Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

First time user - process went very smooth and fast. It took me a little to find my messages. At first I didn't know you process documents other than deeds so maybe you should consider putting on your home page that it's not only for deeds - it's for any document that needs recording. :)

My sale is a land contract and it is complicated. We were thinking we'd have to get an attorney. Your site is very thorough and helpful. We will still have an attorney look over our final papers --and we are still waiting on my deed from the bank to finalize our input. Had several questions, but they seemed to be answered as I went along. The actual process of downloading and saving and having a link went very smoothly. Thank you.

This is a fantastic website and financial savings to many. Being able to download and complete the document I needed vs having my attorney complete saved me $800. I would highly recommend this website.

I tried to use the free stuff you find on the internet. You quickly find out that free is rarely ever (never) free. Even worse, the long term cost can be immeasurable. Glad I realized that before I got too far in. Do yourself a favor, spend a few bucks up front to get the right forms.
