Real Property Land Use + Water Law

How you acquire, use, and develop property affects not only your use of it now, but what it will be worth in the future. Similarly, how those around you use their property can have a significant impact on the value, use and enjoyment of your own property.

Real property includes the collection of rights and restrictions you acquire when you obtain land, buildings, and even water. To ensure that a property can be lawfully used or developed in a particular manner, it is essential to understand the water rights, zoning, easements, and private covenants or restrictions which pertain to the property.

• Helping clients acquire large and small tracts of land
• Dealing with state and federal agencies on our clients’ behalf regarding water rights, easements and other restrictions
