How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Land Use Restriction Agreement in New Mexico

In 2023, a personal client in New Mexico posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a land use restriction agreement. The client owned an existing single-family residence on land that included an easement for access to an adjacent undeveloped property. They required a formal agreement to establish shared maintenance responsibilities for a shared driveway and to ensure that the owners of the adjacent property would be responsible for maintaining their newly constructed access road, as the client would not be using it. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed attorney, with a flat fee bid of $650, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week.
