LARGE ELECTRICAL UTILITY COMPANY PRIOR RIGHTS REPORT
This prior rights report covers from October 28, 1898 to title plant closing date of October
24, 2003. Our objective was to search the lot books and computer chains at the ABC Title
Company Title Plant for any Large Electrical Utility Company (Utility), or its predecessors,
Electrical Transmission Easements, including Distribution Easements, which may
encumber the subject property. Although the research of the ABC Title Company’s lot books
and computer title chains are not the “public records,” the use of the lot books and computer title
chains represent the probable documents which appear of record affecting the subject property.
Note: Part of our methodology was to take each landowner who appeared in the
lot books as the record owner and run their names out to determine all easements,
if any, granted in favor of Utility, or its predecessor(s).
We also ran the grantor/grantee index of the Recorder’s Office of said County from 1898
to the present in the event the lot books and computer chains inadvertently neglected to index
the transmission easement(s) affecting the subject property(ies).
Note: Part of our methodology was to take each landowner who appeared of
record and run their names out to determine all easements, if any, granted in favor
of Utility, or its predecessor(s).
Additional research was conducted at the Any County Surveyor’s Office to perform right
of way engineering research for any data related to the subject property and for any Parcel
Maps, Record of Surveys, Tract Maps or any other filed maps affecting the subject area.
We did not search title for any un-canceled Deeds of Trust, Mortgages, Liens, Certified
Judgments, Oil and Gas Leases, Mineral Rights, Assignments or other matters, which may have
been executed by past or current owners of records, unless otherwise noted.
SECTION I.
Large Electrical Utility Company Transmission Easements
With respect to the land described in the records of ANY COUNTY County, State of Any
State, described as being Assessor Parcel Numbers 347-330-019, 347-330-045, 337-330-046,
347-330-047, 347-360-003, 347-360-004 and 347-360-005 and as outlined on the attached
Assessors’ Parcel Map, and based solely upon the examination of the available records of said
County, examined on or before October 24, 2003, we hereby certify that:
A. The title of present owners to said Assessor Parcel Number 347-330-019 is subject to the
following Large Electrical Utility Transmission Easements found of record:
XYZ Surveyor ALTA No.: None SATCO Item No.: None
1. As to the SW/4 of the NE/4 of the NW/4: None found of record.
Comments: There appears of record that certain Grant of Easement by and
between Laurree Redacre, as grantor, and Large Electrical Utility Company, a
corporation, as grantee, dated August 5, 1983, recorded September 13, 1983, as
Document Number 12345, O.R. in which we note the legal description and plat
attached therewith does affect the subject Assessor Parcel Number and other
lands, more particularly the land owned or claimed by the grantee. However, this
is a common approach that Utility, or other utilities, will use when acquiring
easements over a long distance. Thus it would lead a title examiner to believe
Utility had acquired an easement over the subject Assessor Parcel Number, along
with other lands, within the same time period. However, nothing was found of
record indicating that Utility had acquired an easement covering the subject
Assessor Parcel Number within the same time period they acquired the easement
from the grantor. Informative.
Surveyor Company ALTA No.: None SATCO Item No.: None
2. As to the SE/4 of the NE/4 of the NW/4:
Right of Way granted by H. Neil Halfacre, a single man, as grantor, and The Little
Electrical Utility Power Company, as grantee, dated December 17, 1926, recorded
December 31, 1926, in Book 700, Page 417 of Deeds.
Comments:
1. Said Right of Way is not reflected on ALTA Survey prepared by Surveyor
Company & Associates, dated August 18, 2003.
2. Said Right of Way is not reflected in Second American Title Company
Preliminary Report No. XXX-1235-Xx1, Amendment # 2, dated June 10,
2003.
3. Width of easement cannot be determined.
4. Said Right of Way is unclear if the rights conveyed were for distribution or
transmission rights. Utility currently appears to operate its 115 kv
transmission under the rights granted by said Right of Way. Utility will need
to prove if in fact said Right of Way is a transmission easement or
otherwise.
B. The title of present owners to said Assessor Parcel Numbers 347-330-045 and 347-330-
046 and is subject to no Large Electrical Utility Transmission Easements found of
record.
C. The title of present owners to said Assessor Parcel Number 347-330-047 is subject to the

Re-recorded on December 20, 1984 as Document Number 666666, O.R.

explaining the nature or purpose of the re-recording. Informative.

Right of Way granted by Charles O. Greenacre and Olive G. Greenacre, his wife,
and Geo. L. Whiteacre and Daisy S. Whiteacre, his wife, as grantor, and The Little
Electrical Utility Power Company, as grantee, dated December 13, 1929, recorded
December 21, 1929, in Book 837, Page 55 of Deeds.
Comments:
1. Width of easement cannot be determined.
2. We note said ALTA Survey and the Preliminary Title Report states said
Right of Way was recorded in Official Record when in fact said Right of
Way was recorded in Book of Deeds. Informative only.
3. Said Right of Way is unclear if the rights conveyed were for distribution or
transmission rights. Utility currently appears to operate its 115 kv
transmission under the rights granted by said Right of Way. Utility will need
to prove if in fact said Right of Way is a transmission easement or
otherwise.
D. The title of present owners to said Assessor Parcel Number 347-360-003 is subject to the
following Large Electrical Utility Transmission Easements found of record:
Surveyor Company ALTA No.: 25 SATCO Item No.: 25
1. Grant of Easement granted by Charles G. Tenacre, Trustee under the Charles G.
Tenacre Declaration of Trust dated June 1, 1977, as grantor, and Large Electrical
Utility Company, as grantee, dated July 20, 1988, recorded August 15, 1988, as
Document Number 333333, O.R.
Comments: Although said Grant of Easement does not express in the granting
clause the rights granted are exclusive, we note the following language appears in

shall be granted on, under or over said right of way strip by Grantor to any
person, firm or corporation without the previous written consent of the
Grantee.”

005 and is subject to no Large Electrical Utility Transmission Easements found of
record.
