How it works

How we handle Conservation Easement, end-to-end.

A conservation easement is a permanent restriction on the use of land, typically donated to a qualified land trust to preserve the land's natural or open-space character.

1

Eligibility review

Land must have conservation value: scenic, ecological, historic, open-space, or recreational. We assess whether your land qualifies. Most rural and undeveloped properties do; urban properties rarely.

2

Land trust selection

Donation must be to a qualified land trust (501(c)(3)). We refer to local and national land trusts (Land Trust Alliance, The Nature Conservancy, regional trusts). They accept the easement and hold the restriction in perpetuity.

3

Engineering + appraisal

Engineering work documents the conservation value. Qualified appraisal determines diminished land value (the deduction amount). IRS scrutinizes appraisals; we use highly credentialed appraisers with conservation easement experience.

4

Legal documentation + closing

Easement document recorded with county recorder. Permanent restriction runs with the land. Donor receives appraisal-supported deduction. Coordination with attorney specializing in conservation easements.

FAQ

About the Conservation Easement Service.

What is a GDPR compliance assessment?
A GDPR assessment reviews whether your business meets the EU's data-protection rules when you handle personal data of people in the EU, covering lawful basis, consent, data rights, security, and cross-border transfers. It applies even to US businesses with EU users. We keep your entity organized so compliance is manageable.
Does GDPR apply to my US business?
It can: GDPR applies if you offer goods or services to, or monitor, people in the EU, regardless of where your business is located, so a US company with EU customers or website visitors may be subject to it. We flag whether your reach brings you into scope.
What does GDPR require?
A lawful basis for processing personal data, clear privacy notices, honoring data-subject rights like access and deletion, security safeguards, and rules for transferring data out of the EU, plus breach notification. It is complete, and we flag the obligations relevant to your data practices.
What are data-subject rights?
GDPR gives individuals rights to access, correct, delete, and port their data, and to object to certain processing, which your business must be able to honor within set timeframes. Building processes for these is part of compliance. We flag them so your operations can respond.
Do I need a data processing agreement?
Often yes: when you use vendors that process personal data, GDPR requires a data processing agreement governing how they handle it, and you may need one with your own customers. We flag when DPAs are required so your data chain is compliant.
What are the penalties under GDPR?
They can be severe, reaching a significant percentage of global revenue for serious violations, which is why even smaller businesses with EU users take it seriously. We flag your exposure so compliance is addressed before it becomes a costly enforcement matter.
How does GDPR relate to US privacy laws?
GDPR is the EU regime, while US state laws like California's CCPA impose their own requirements, so a business serving both may need to satisfy several frameworks. We flag which privacy laws apply based on where your users are so you build compliant practices once.
Do I need cookie consent?
Often: GDPR and related EU rules generally require consent for non-essential cookies and tracking of EU users, which is why compliant sites use consent banners. We flag the requirement so your site's tracking practices match the rules for your audience.
Can File.Business help me assess GDPR exposure?
We keep your entity organized and flag whether GDPR and which US privacy laws apply based on your users and data, and where DPAs and consent are needed, so your data practices are addressed deliberately, coordinating with a privacy specialist for a full assessment.
