An easement is the non-possessory right to use another person's real property for a specific purpose. Easements exist distinct from the ownership of the land and do not constitute full ownership of the property in question. Easements can be both private and public. Private easements are those in which the enjoyment or use is restricted to one or a few individuals, while public easements are those in which the right or enjoyment of use is vested in the public generally or a community. Private easements are either appurtenant or in gross. Section 23.006 of the Texas Statutes discusses access easements in relation to partitioned property. The rights contained in an easement are created by an easement deed.

Because an easement represents an interest in land, it is required to be in writing, subscribed by the grantor, and delivered (Sec. 5.021). In order to be recorded, an easement deed must be signed by the grantor and properly acknowledged, sworn to with a jurat, or proved according to law (Sec. 12.001a). Original signatures are required. An easement deed may be refused for recording unless it has been signed and acknowledged or sworn to by the grantor in the presence of two or more credible witnesses or acknowledged and sworn to before and certified by an officer authorized to take acknowledgments or oaths (Sec. 12.001b). If the deed is acknowledged before a notary public in another state, it will be invalid for recordation in Texas if it does not have an official seal attached only if the jurisdiction in which the acknowledgment was taken requires the notary public to attach an official seal (Sec. 12.001d).

An unrecorded easement deed will be binding on the parties to the instrument, the party's heirs, and on a subsequent purchaser who does not pay a valuable consideration or who has notice of the instrument (Sec. 13.001c). An easement deed in this state will be void as to a creditor or subsequent purchaser for valuable consideration without notice unless the deed has been acknowledged, sworn to or proved, and filed for record (Sec. 13.001). An easement deed that is recorded in the county where the property subject to the deed is located will serve as constructive notice to all persons of the instrument and will also be open to public inspection (Sec. 13.002).

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.

Wasn’t what I expected

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.

It wasn't really what I needed I read and read and read and read and I thought I was to do with for filing for probate or probate executor but instead it was for the property if you are executor and but it wasn't very clear on that so it didn't work for me so I was kind of wasted money

Sorry to hear that Norman. We've gone ahead and canceled your order and payment.

Outstanding. There is nothing worse than finding the correct forms or having to hire an atty to do what most people can do on their own. I cant speak for all but these forms are fairly easy. The addition of guides and supplement forms are excellent. I just saved quite a bit of money with your site. Thanks

Awesome!

Quick service and well worth the very minimal fee for the convenience of being able to quickly record my mothers will without having to leave the house.

Also, our court is currently closed due to Covid.
So happy to have found Deeds.com

The program fields should allow the customer to change font size and allow additional space for information to be place on the Deed.
Not Bad, still needs improvement.

Reply from Staff

Thank you for your feedback Maurice. Unfortunately we do not make the requirements for things like font size and margins, we only make the documents to be compliant with them.
