    After years of hard work and persistence by the Land Trust Alliance, our land trust members and our allies on Capitol Hill — and in the face of well-resourced opposition — Congress finally passed the Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act as part of its year-end “omnibus” spending bill.

    Due diligence for every conservation transaction.

    Closing a deal requires due diligence on the part of the land trust and its attorney. Due diligence includes, but is generally not limited to, title searches and certifications, appraisals, survey and legal description review, as well as specific, specialized information, such as baseline documentation reports, mineral searches, environmental assessments and real estate tax assessments or other outstanding debt. The land trust and its attorney must be knowledgeable about how to obtain this information, interpret it and solve any issues that otherwise would inhibit a clean closing. Learn how to conduct due diligence in this topic.
