An easement is a non possessory right to use another person’s land for a defined purpose, such as access, drainage, or utilities.
Disputes arise from ambiguous language in documents, changes in use, boundary surveys, or conflicting interpretations of the easement’s scope. Our team explains your rights and options.
An easement is a legal right that lets someone use a portion of another’s property without owning it, and its terms determine who may use what, when, and how.
Key elements include the type of easement, its location and scope, the relation between the dominant and servient tenements, and enforcement options. Our process typically involves title reviews, surveys, negotiations, mediation, and, if necessary, litigation.
This glossary defines essential terms you may encounter when addressing easement disputes and property rights.
A legal right to use another person’s land for a specific, limited purpose without transferring ownership.
The property that benefits from the easement and holds the right to use the servient land in the defined way.
The property burdened by the easement, where the use is restricted or enabled by the easement.
A physical intrusion onto another’s land that can create or escalate an easement dispute.
