Protecting Your Best Interests In Real Estate Matters
Real estate transactions in central Illinois are a hub of vibrant residential and commercial activities. Our community’s uniquely continuous farms are often a big part of business and real estate deals. However, navigating through inquiries about power lines, oil pipelines, water drainage or highway easements can be difficult to negotiate on your own, especially when a dispute arises. Protecting your landowner rights when corporations are muscling in with easements can be more challenging if you do not know what your rights are.

Do You Have Questions About Drainage Districts?
Central Illinois has a multitude of farmland still producing agriculture. For those interested in purchasing or leasing new or additional farmland, consulting with an attorney knowledgeable about drainage law is essential to the success of their farm.
Drainage laws apply to special districts in this state to ensure that landowners have a means to proper drainage on their property for agriculture and other purposes. Landowners have a right to adjust or improve the water flow and drainage on their property. However, proper drains, ditches and levees across the lands of others are regulated to ensure that property situated on lower areas receive the surface water that naturally flows from adjacent property on higher ground.
