An easement is the right to use another person's property for a specific purpose. In Montana, any person who has a vested interest in a servient tenement can create a servitude (70-17-104). The land to which the easement is attached is the dominant estate, and the land upon which a burden or servitude (easement) is held is called the servient estate (70-17-103). The extent of the easement is determined by the terms of the grant or the nature of the enjoyment by which it was acquired (70-17-106). A transfer of real property in this state will pass all the easements attached to the property and will create in favor thereof an easement to use other real property of the person whose estate is transferred in the same manner and to the same extent as such property was obviously and permanently used by the person whose estate is transferred for the benefit thereof at the time the transfer was agreed upon or completed (70-20-308).

An easement that is obtained for the purpose of exposure of a solar energy device must be created in writing and is subject to the same conveyancing and recording requirements as other easements on real property (70-17-301). Wind easements are also created in the same manner (70-17-403).

An easement deed is required to be in writing and must be signed by the grantor or the grantor's lawful agent authorized in writing. Before the real property instrument can be recorded, the execution of the easement deed must be acknowledged as defined in 1-5-602 of the Montana Code Annotated or proved by subscribing witnesses, which must also be notarized (70-21-203). If the easement deed is acknowledged in a state other than Montana, it can be done before any of the officers listed in MAC 1-5-606, and it will be valid in Montana.

An easement deed that has not been recorded will only be valid between the parties to it and those who have notice thereof (70-21-102). Once the easement deed has been acknowledged or proved, certified, and recorded, it will be deemed to impart constructive notice of the contents thereof from the time it is filed with the county clerk for record (70-21-302). Easement deeds should be recorded in the county where the property is located. If the property is located in more than one county and the easement has been recorded in either of such counties, a certified copy can then be recorded in the other county where the rest of the property lies (70-21-201).

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.

I saved a ton of money doing it on my own versus through legal counsel. When I took it to the auditor/recorder today, there was absolutely no problems.

This is a great tool to use. It makes recording documents so easy and convenient. The website is very user-friendly. The only suggestion I would have is if the website could email me directly when I have a message so I don't have to keep checking back to see if my document is ready.

Excellent service, great feedback and recommendations by the deed preparer, and I really appreciate the personalized service. The website is amazing, everything is well thought out, and all messages are saved, clear and easy to read. I wish my website was so easy to navigate!
Seriously, the person who worked on my account is awesome. They made recommendations about what to include and what not to include. They didn't make me feel dumb for asking questions about out-of-state service and filing procedures, and I will be using Deeds.com exclusively on my cases. Five stars !

This was an excellent experience. The jurisdiction I was registering the Deed with, entrusts Deeds.com with their filing needs. And the staff held my hand through the process, and worked to submit the best package, and the Deed was successfully recorded.
