A client wants to assure that her land does not become access for a subdivision on the land behind hers. She has three parcels and suggested a buffer zone to be placed along the rear boundary of each.
A conservation restriction would be permanent, but will take a long time to create. While a restrictive covenant can be created quickly, it is only in effect for thirty years in Massachusetts.
My question is whether the restrictive covenant should appear on the map of the survey, in the deed or both? I asked my client to talk with an attorney specialist in real estate law, because either way, the attorney should have a better way with the wording.
I searched, and read other posts on restrictive covenants here, but none were specific to my question. Write it in the deed? Show it on the map? Both?
