Overview: Conservation Easements: From
the Client's Perspective covers the basics of conservation easements,
including legal and financial aspects and the appraisal process. Conservation
easements—permanent legal agreements that limit development on parcels of
land—are increasingly popular tools with Virginia landowners. As a Virginia
attorney or CPA, you owe it to your clients to understand the ins and outs of
these complex agreements. Whether your clients are “land rich and cash poor”
farmers or wealthy investors, landowners who wish to preserve their land while
still capturing financial benefit from it should consider a conservation
easement.
This course is pending for 3.0 credit hours
including (0) credit hours for Ethics by the Virginia Mandatory Continuing Legal
Education Board. The cost is $139 per person.
