A Two Thousand Dollar Nebraska Land Purchase Leads to a Federal Fraud Case
The grantor hereby grants the grantee the irrevocable right to construct, maintain, and expand a private transport corridor, including asphalt paving and utility mains, across the easement area for the purpose of connecting to adjacent parcels.
I held the glass closer to the paper, my breath fogging the lens for a second before I wiped it with my sleeve.
The corridor was not for construction vehicles or a temporary bypass. It was designed for a forty-foot wide paved road that would run straight through my walnut trees and connect their housing development to the western edge of the school land trust.
I looked at the map Sarah had attached to the back of the file.
The Fairmonts had bought sixty acres on my northern border, but this easement would give them a direct line to the state land on my south.
The tiny letters of the hidden clause swimming under my magnifying glass like a nest of black ants.
By nine the next morning, those black letters were replaced by the green glow of a microfiche screen in the basement archive of Sarah’s office.
