Do you have anything to add that might help us? ---------------- The article I posted here, back in July, described how some realtors were getting land owners subsidies for land conservation easements. I don't know what other easement types are available or the qualifying land type or size limits, but the article is included here. This article's sources might lead to subsidies for undeveloped common land, no matter how small it is, but if Laura Merrill doesn't live in your neighborhood when you get to the legal / documentation issues, you might want to have the documents reviewed by a local attorney who is familiar with the process in your state, which can also handle the agency issues between developing / association / and other entity transitions. Also, the Pre-Paid Legal plans I broker do this kind of thing for peanuts, or 12.95 a month for me. Document reviews & unlimited toll-free attorney consulting are the most basic Titles of Coverage.

But not in Hamilton, Montana where Laura Merrill (and a) handful of other real estate agents in this state have started turning down listings that encourage sprawl or involve damaging wildlife habitat. Sprawl has become the main threat to the natural world in Montana, many environmental groups say. .. A former Forest Service scientist, Merrill is an independent broker who won't sell subdivisions and encourages owners to put conservation restrictions on their land. .. clients ask Merrill about conservation easements, binding legal agreements that limit development. In agreeing to place restrictions on their land, owners can receive estate and income tax benefits and payment from private foundations or Federal, state, or local governments. - The New York Times, 9 July 98, p A13, by Timothy Egan. ------- End of Forwarded -------
