What is the South Carolina Easement Deed?

An easement is a non-possessory right of use over another's land that allows the holder to use another's property for a specific purpose. Easements may be express or implied. An express easement can be created by deed, contract, or other written instrument. An express easement must describe the scope of the interest being conveyed, along with the location and dimensions of the easement. An implied easement can be created by pre-existing use, when it is evident that the parties involved intended to create an easement.

Before a deed or other instrument of writing can be recorded in South Carolina, it must be acknowledged or proved by either of the following methods: (A) the execution of the deed must be proved by the affidavit of a subscribing witness to the instrument, taken before an officer in the state competent to administer oaths or (B) a deed or other instrument must be signed by the grantor in the presence of two witnesses, taken before an officer in the state competent to administer oaths (30-5-30A, B). A notary public may be one of the witnesses to an easement deed. Acknowledgments taken out of state must comply with the Uniform Recognition of Acknowledgments Act (30-5-30.2). A derivation clause is required to be on most real estate deeds presented for recording, but is not required for a deed devoted to a utility or railroad purpose of any private or public utility or railroad. A derivation clause is also not required on any non-warranty or quitclaim deed in South Carolina (30-5-35).

An easement deed will be valid so as to affect the rights of subsequent purchasers or purchasers for valuable consideration without notice only from the time it is recorded with the register of deeds in the county where the property subject to the easement is located. The priority of instruments is determined by the time of filing for record (30-7-10). The recording of documents serves to establish a priority of claims against a specific property.

Review: I was dubious at first that clicking on Deeds.com would lead to a phoney website to get personal info. I was very pleased that this is a legitimate & well-organized website with a large database of forms. Very easy to select forms, pay for them, & download them. No hassle, no pushing you to make additional purchases. Very straightforward & professional.

Review: The Quit Claim Deed for the state of Ohio worked for me, saving me the cost of an attorney doing it. O.K., maybe that wouldn't have amounted to more than a few hundred dollars, but anywhere I thought I could save money (and learn something new on top of it) is something I want to do. That said, be forwarned. While I'm not an attorney I'm not averse to spending many hours researching the lingo found in this kind of form and thoroughly understanding exactly how everything has to be filled in. I should add that my ex-wife and I remain friends and she was the one giving me the property/house (thus, technically I filled out the forms on her behalf). Because there was no personal conflict, it made it easier to undertake. Lastly, what others have said about the county office where you must file a Quit Claim Deed not being helpful, that's true in the sense that they do not want to be instructing non-attorneys on filling out the necessary forms. I did take a preliminary draft set of the forms to the county office but was VERY CAREFUL about explaining that I only needed a couple of questions answered about procedure for submitting the final documents. They were helpful once I made it clear I wasn't asking them for "legal advice". And their help was critical as the final submittals requires stopping at three different offices (MapDocuments, Auditor and finally the Recorder's office). So I say thank you to Deeds.com. Their service for the Quit Claim Deed was invaluable.

Review: Could have had Clerk's certification of mailing form after it is recorded. Not fatal, but I did have to resort to reading the statute as well.

Review: The packet I downloaded was complete and useful, and process was not unduly opaque. However, I would have liked to download the whole packet, about 6 files, all at one go. Still, the forms provided the complete solution to my situation.
