Agreed. Centuryl-ink is almost certainly who inherited this easement and presumably the line it
contains.
A miss utility call would identify the owners of any lines within the easement.

David,
I would recommend reaching out to embarq\Century link in Charlottesville, these old easements are just passed down,
when utility companies change ownership. Someone there should be able to give you guidance on who is the current
owner. I'll reach out to our District right of way manager and discuss this matter, on how to proceed if you can't find
current ownership.
Regards, Willis

Willis,
I am hoping you can provide some guidance concerning VDOT's request for a quit claim of the Telephone & Telegraph
easement. Our client's attorney, Ben Gordon (see email below), and the title company are having trouble locating the
owner of this easement. Do you have any experience with these types of easements and/or do you know who could
sign -off on the quit claim? If we cannot find the owner, how can we proceed with resolving this issue?
Any insight you can provide would be helpful.
Thank you.

David,
Please pass this request on to VDOT. Does not hurt to ask I guess.

Brian:
The title company has told us that they don't have any way of tracking down the current easement holder. I am
following up with them on that since I agree with you that they would be the likeliest to know who that party is.
At the same time, can you (or whoever is interfacing with VDOT) at least ask VDOT or the county if they have any
information? I understand why VDOT is requesting the release — it's just a matter of figuring out who to contact.
Thanks,
Ben
