Preservation of Land Use Restrictions 15 Years Ago-Six Figure Payout Today

Fifteen years ago, environmental and real estate attorney Neal Glick reminded his client, a trust, of the statutory requirement to preserve and extend a set of land use restrictions that benefited the client's land.

Fast forward to 2015, when a developer sued the client in Massachusetts Land Court, seeking a declaration that the restrictions were obsolete. The result?

Avoiding a costly trial, Neal was able to negotiate a settlement agreement in favor of his client. The developer ended up paying the client multiple six-figures, a new set of 50-year restrictions on the property were imposed and the developer agreed to confirm that his property was a dues paying member of the client.
