Easements run with the land and are created by deed, grant, or court order, detailing who can use which portion of property and for what purpose.
Key elements include the legal basis for the easement, accurate property descriptions, recorded documents, and the processes to enforce, modify, or terminate an easement through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
