An easement gives a defined, limited use of another person’s land for a specific purpose, without transferring ownership.
Disputes arise when the scope, location, or duration of the easement is unclear, contested, or affected by new plans.
Easements create rights that permit use of land under agreed terms, while the property owner retains ownership and must respect those rights.
Key elements include the parties, the type of easement (appurtenant or in gross), the servient and dominant tenements, and the documented rights. The process may involve surveys, title reviews, negotiation, mediation, and, if needed, court action.
Glossary terms cover concepts such as easement, servitude, dominant tenement, and burdened property to help you understand the dispute.
A legal right to use another person’s land for a specific purpose without owning it.
An easement that benefits a parcel of land (the dominant tenement) and runs with the land.

The property that bears the burden of the easement and limits the owner’s use in favor of the easement holder.
