What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I am being asked to sign a "Grant of Easement for Ingress & Egress". I am trying to be neighborly in considering to sign this agreement; it is being required by someone intending to purchase the property next to my home who wants access to a garage that opens into my easement. I do have one concern though. In the paragraph below, it appears to me that in signing the agreement, I will be signing away my right to consider declining this arrangement to a new purchaser in the future, should the current purchaser decide to sell the property later to someone else. Does the wording of the paragraph below actually take this right away from me?
--------------------------
1.) That Grantors hereby grant and convey to Grantees, for benefit of Grantees, their successors and/or assigns, the nonexclusive , perpetual right and easement to use the Easement Area located therein, for ingress and egress, to gain access to the garage....
--------------------------
I would like to require that this agreement have to be signed each time the property next door is sold so that if the grant of easement becomes a problem, I have the right to decline the grant in the future to another purchaser. Anyone know what wording would be required to ensure this, or does the law limit the term "successors" and "assigns" to just the immediate successors/assigns?
Thanks much for information!
