Supreme Court of New Hampshire

LeFevre v. Hogan

July 17, 20242024 N.H. 38

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s judgment that the 2002 Spragg‑McEwan deed created a valid easement over the LeFevre Lot for the benefit of the Hogan Lot. The court rejected the “stranger to the deed” doctrine and found the deed was properly delivered and accepted. The decision rests on a plain‑meaning construction of the deed and established delivery principles.
