MOST then oversees the enforcement of this easement when all or a portion of the land is sold, inherited, or changes ownership in any fashion. Conservation easements do not have to include an entire parcel, landowners may reserve their development rights on any size portion of the property. An outright gift to MOST can be accomplished immediately, upon death by will, or through utilization of a remainder trust. Donors choosing immediate or trust gifts may, and often do, reserve the right to live on the property until death. When a landowner elects to sell property to MOST for less than its market value everyone wins.
Landowners receive cash proceeds and tax benefits.
