An easement grants a limited right to use another person’s land for a specific purpose, such as access to a road, passage, or utilities.
Disputes arise when the scope, duration, or parties’ rights are unclear, or when encroachments and changes in use threaten property values.
Easements are not ownership of land but a legal permission to use it. They can be created by agreement, prescription, or by law and may be appurtenant to a parcel or in gross, affecting one or more properties.
Key elements include the scope of use, the location of the easement, and the parties’ rights. The process often involves document review, negotiations, surveys, and, if needed, court action to establish or enforce rights.
