Indemnification Agreement: Fill & Download for Free

Sort of…my neighbor is trying to claim that my easement to the shared well on his property isn't valid, ever since I bought the property last summer (2020). He simply doesn't want to share anymore, even though the well has been shared since the houses were built together 60 years ago. This well is a very good well and was actually made to support four homes, so it's not like there's any reason to be concerned about scarcity.The real issue is that the previous owner neglected the property and let the pipes freeze and break, which would cause water to just flow and flow out of the well until my neighbor could get into the cellar and shut off the well pump.Now that he's decided that he doesn't like this arrangement anymore, he's also decided that the last time the easement was actually valid was when the house was first sold in 1960, when the easement was created for the buyers. Since no one was actually named as receiving the easement after that, he’s arguing that it didn't exist anymore, nevermind that multiple owners of my house had been using the well for 60+ years.So far, his lawyer has been..…umm… “unable” to inform him otherwise, and they have been making all kinds of noise, including harassing my well pump repairman the other day, refusing him access. He demanded notice that we were accessing the well, indemnification agreements, etc, and tried to get me to sign a “temporary easement" agreement, like I need that.Ever wonder what you're paying for when you buy a house and the closing costs list a line item for “Title Insurance”?Well, one thing it's good for is protecting your vital well access from your neighbor's notions about easement law. I forwarded the neighbor's claims to the Title Insurance Company and they gladly looked up a mound of case law and precedent for me. Unless the deed specifically excludes all others except the people named as receiving the easement, easements follow the property (appurtenant), not the people (gross). My deed just says that the easement is issued to the “grantors herein", so…yeah.That, as they say, was the end of that.UPDATE: Or at least it should have been.I just got another letter from my neighbor demanding that I sign a temporary easement agreement even though I already have deeded access. <Sigh> Looks like it's time to open a claim on the Title Insurance. Dude needs to get a hobby. Ok, a different hobby.

About $1.9 million. Under an indemnification agreement Cohen allegedly signed with the Trump Organization in July 2017, the company agreed that it would pay all of Cohen's fees and costs in connection with cases related to the company. Trump did make some payments and then stopped them. Something Trump has been known to do with many people he owes money to.

One thing a company could do to minimize risk is to negotiate indemnification agreements in contracts with vendors. That way, if it's the work that the vendor did that is allegedly infringing the patent, the company could have the vendor defend the infringement claim in their place.I don't know if it's the most important thing, but it's something. Of course, getting a vendor to agree to such terms may be difficult, and the exact terms of the indemnification agreement will be critical.
