Conservation Easesments A New Field For Villainy
This disinclination to mix charitable endeavors with scamming caused me to miss some of the potential in conservation easements. I remember talking to one of my clients who deals in land and asking him what it really meant to own 10,000 acres of land somewhere. What is that you really have? His answer was “a bundle of rights”. Included in that bundle is the right to do some level of developing subject to local zoning. This might be a valuable right or it might not. If the property is already at its “highest and best use”, which in appraiser speak is the use that gives you the greatest economic return then your development rights are of negligible value.
