Join us for an introduction to what you and your clients may need to evaluate or consider a conservation easement. The easement is a way to protect land in perpetuity while still retaining private ownership.
This webinar is geared toward attorneys, real estate professionals, tax accountants, and town officials. We will be discussing how conservation easements work, including tax implications and incentives, estate planning, and land use planning.
Why should this matter to you?
Conservation easements are an important resource for property owners, community members and town officials. Learn about the ways you can offer insight and valuable added financial and emotional services to the clients or community you serve.
