Questions answered? Let's get started!

Frequent easements in New Jersey include public utility easements, driveway easements, and easements for encroachments. An easement is the right to use another person's property for a specific purpose, and can be either affirmative or negative. Easements in this state are typically created by an express grant, which is often a formal agreement between the parties involved, which is then set forth in a recorded easement deed. The easement deed should specify the terms and duration of the easement. An easement obtained for the purpose of exposure of a solar energy device can be created in writing and will be subject to the same conveyancing and recording requirements as other easements (46:3-25).

In order to be eligible for recording, an easement deed should be signed by the grantor and acknowledged before an officer specified in 46:14-6.1 of the New Jersey Statutes. Deeds may be acknowledged in New Jersey or in another state. The officer taking the acknowledgment should sign a certificate stating such acknowledgment or proof, which will be recorded with the easement deed (46:14-2.1).

The act of recording an easement deed provides constructive notice of the contents. Any recorded deed affecting the title to real property, including easement deeds, are from the time of recording, notice to all subsequent purchasers, mortgagees, and judgment creditors of the execution of the recorded document and its contents (46:26A-12). An easement deed or other conveyance of an interest in real property in New Jersey will not be effective against subsequent judgment creditors without notice, or against subsequent bona fide purchasers and mortgagees for valuable consideration without notice and whose conveyance or mortgage is recorded, unless that conveyance is evidenced by a document that is recorded first (46:26A-12). Easement deeds must be recorded in the county where the property is located.

First time user and was directed there from a search on my home state for a state form. The downloaded form was complete with instructions and sample filled out form. I was not happy about the cost for the form, but it did the job.

Order Process: 5 Stars - very easy Material Received: 2 Stars Issues: 1. Printing- Document would not print in format displayed. Format would continually shrink to approx 2/3 size thus not useable for formal doc submission to County Records office. 2. Document Format- Data insertion fields (addresses) were not of correct size for data input. I needed a 4 line input space but was limited to only 3 lines. Also, Date field (year) was mis-oriented in-so-much that the 3rd digit (inputted) overlapped on 2nd digit (pre-printed) and also was of noticeably different font. 3. Useability- Hand-written input space provided (for Notary) was deficient in space and spacing. It was a challenge to utilize the space available to complete fully and maintain legibility. Overall - the document worked marginally as advertised, I did need to re-write the entire document myself. It is a good concept but I'd recommend that Deeds company improve the downloaded forms for actual useability, readability, functionability. regards, Jim S

Deeds.com served my needs perfectly providing a form for a very reasonable price. Every other site was double or more. The form was easy to complete and I like that I can access it if I need to make changes. I had contacted a paralegal to prepare this form for me and she quoted $150. I saved time and money with Deeds.com.
