Montana Supreme Court

Archer v. Tait

December 31, 2024561 P.3d 988

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment determining that the express easement was specific as to motor-vehicle use and was not limited to summertime access or lake-related activities. The easement therefore permitted the appellees’ proposed year-round residential access and construction-related use because its granting language imposed no such restrictions. The court declined to decide whether the future construction might overburden the easement because that issue was not ripe.
