What the Easement holder says carries no legal authority, but if you're running ROW title or some other title where you MUST know, then contacting them can't hurt. I would never do that as a "basic" abstractor, but I have worked ROW & Mineral projects where I have personally contacted people, usually with client or brokers permission, because we needed to know if we needed to get some "quite title" action started. It could help to know it was just a "gentlemans agreement" to get livestock to water, hunting, or some other such agreement. But once again, ONLY if the project requires knowing.
