An easement is a legal right to use another person’s land for a specific purpose, such as a shared driveway or utility line.
Disputes can arise from unclear deed language, changes in land use, or conflicting surveys. In Avalon, state and local rules shape how these rights are interpreted and enforced.
An easement is a non-possessory right to use land owned by another for a limited purpose. It does not transfer ownership but governs access, utilities, or passage.
