An easement is a legal right to use someone else’s land for a specific purpose, such as access or utilities.
Disputes may involve scope, duration, location, or the burden on the servient property, and solutions range from negotiation to litigation.
An easement is a non-possessory property interest that allows use of land for a defined purpose. It does not grant ownership, but it does create enforceable rights and duties between adjacent landowners.
Key elements include the servient and dominant parcels, the scope of use, duration, and remedies. The process often involves document review, negotiations, mediation, and, if needed, court action.
