Does a conservation easement restrict a landowners ability to sell or bequeath land in the future?
No. Land protected by a conservation easement may be sold, bequeathed or otherwise transferred at any time. Transfer of ownership, however, will not affect the integrity or enforceability of the easement. Restrictions defined in the recorded conservation easement run with the title to the property forever, providing landowners effective means of perpetuating their caring stewardship.
