This helps us with the following:  \n• Establish early contact with the new landowners to help them to better understand the terms of the CR and answer any questions  \n• Acquaint the new landowners with the CR stewardship staff and The Trustees.  \n• Prevent violations from taking place because of a misunderstanding  \nWe also like to connect with the realtor early on to be sure that they know about the CR and to answer any of their questions. From our conversations with CR landowners, we have learned it is extremely helpful to potential buyers, as well as The Trustees, if the description on the realtor’s website mentions that the property is protected under a perpetual CR.  \nWe also ask you to let us know if you’re planning to transfer legal ownership within your own family, to a real estate trust or a limited liability corporation, as we need to maintain records of the correct legal ownership of all our CR properties  \nHow we can help  \nWe can provide the following resources (as electronic copies for easy distribution):  \n• CR document – recorded document that is specific to this property  \n• Basemap-shows the CR boundaries and any Building Envelopes or Special Use areas referenced in the CR document  \n•  CR Landowner Handbook – link to the CR handbook provides helpful information for your realtor and potential buyer about CR’s  \nWe are willing to discuss or meet with serious potential buyers to answer any questions they may have about the conservation restriction and allowed activities on the property. However, it should be made clear that we can only answer questions about possible uses of the property and/or exercising of reserved development rights in general terms as we can only approve or disapprove proposed activities at the request of the legal landowner.  \nWhat is an Estoppel Certificate?  \nAn estoppel certificate is a legal document in which the holder of a CR certifies to a potential buyer or lender that the condition of the CR complies with the conservation restriction terms. The landowner may request an estoppel certificate prior to a sale of the property. Some banks may require this certificate as a condition of a loan. If your CR hasan estoppel paragraph (CR’s recorded prior to the late 1980’s usually don’t), most require 20 to 45 days advance written notice to request an estoppel certificate to allow time for a site visit to be completed. So, be sure to request this as soon as possible to prevent any delay of the sale.  \nLandowner Checklist  \n• Notify us when planning to list your CR property for sale  \n• Let us know if you will require an Estoppel Certificate  \n• Share the electronic copies of the CR document, the basemap showing the CR, our CR Handbook, and this document with your realtor.  \n• Consider including information in the listing describing the conservation restriction and the values that the CR protects in perpetuity.  \n• To help ensure protection of your special landscape, it is important that your realtor and the prospective new owner of your CR property understand the significance of the restriction: why it exists, how it works, the specific restrictions and allowances, and our monitoring protocol. All too often, we learn of a change in ownership after the sale, making our relationship-building efforts with the new landowner difficult from the outset, and raising the risk of unintentional CR violations. Remember that a buyer who learns of the existence and impact of a conservation restriction after the closing may be a dissatisfied client and potential litigant.  \n• Review the CR document (with your attorney, if necessary) about any Subsequent Transfers of ownership requirements.  \n• Most CRs contain the requirement that you notify us before any conveyance and that the transfer deed references the Book and Page of the recorded CR, so please check the “Transfe","cbCaibGIQXEa90LU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibGIQXEa90LU","pdf",213214,"English","# Notify Us When Listing Your CR Property For Sale\n## Benefits of Protecting Your Land\n# How We Can Help\n## CR Resources to Share\n# What Is an Estoppel Certificate?\n# Landowner Checklist\n## Transfer and Ownership Records\n# About The Trustees","[{\"question\":\"When should a CR landowner notify The Trustees about a property sale?\",\"answer\":\"Notify the CR team when planning to list the CR property for sale so they can establish early contact and help prevent misunderstandings.\"},{\"question\":\"What is an estoppel certificate for a Conservation Restriction property?\",\"answer\":\"An estoppel certificate is a legal document confirming that the CR condition complies with the conservation restriction terms, and it may be required by some banks for a loan.\"},{\"question\":\"What resources should be shared with the realtor and potential buyers?\",\"answer\":\"Share electronic copies of the recorded CR document, the basemap showing CR boundaries and referenced areas, and the CR Landowner Handbook (plus this document) with your realtor.\"}]","Selling Your Property - Conservation Restriction (CR) Notification and Estoppel Certificate Guide | PDF",1789487510]
