The PA Land Trust Association is developing a Model Amendment of Grant of Conservation Easement and Declaration of Covenants and welcomes suggestions for improvements to the first public drafts of the model and commentary (the sooner the better).

Reviewers are also encouraged to suggest examples of potential amendments that could be addressed in the commentary.

PALTA noted oftentimes when a change to an easement is desired, it makes sense to both amend and restate the easement document to ensure that the easement is backed by the most modern, effective form and provisions possible.

Sometimes, however, a simple, straightforward amendment is the best path forward. This new model seeks to address this situation.

PALTA's other titles regarding easement amendments include:

-- Guide and Model Policy for Conservation Easement Amendment

-- Amending and Restating Grants of Conservation Easement: Best Practices to Document Changes

-- Amending Grants of Conservation Easement: Legal Considerations for Land Trusts
