An easement is a legal right to use another person’s land for a specific purpose, such as access, utilities, or drainage.
Disputes arise when the scope, location, or enforcement of an easement is unclear or challenged, potentially requiring negotiation, mediation, or court action.
An easement creates a limited property interest that allows a defined use while leaving ownership with the underlying landowner. Terms may be express, implied, or established by necessity, and they affect how you can access or use the property.
In an easement dispute we evaluate title history, the type and scope of the easement, any encroachments, and the remedies available through negotiation, mediation, or court action.
Important terms you may encounter include easement, dominant estate, servient estate, and encroachment.

An easement is a legal right to use part of another’s property for a specific purpose, such as a driveway or utility line. It does not grant ownership, but it can affect your property rights.
Easements can be express or implied, and the benefit usually runs with the property (the dominant estate) while the burden rests on the other parcel (the servient estate). The exact terms and boundaries are determined by deeds, surveys, and records.
The duration of an easement depends on its terms; some are perpetual, while others end with a stated time or condition. An easement may be terminated or modified by agreement, by necessity, or through litigation.
In some cases easements can be terminated or modified by agreement, by necessity, or through legal action. A review of documents and local rules will determine the available options.
Eminent domain is a government power to take private land for public use, with compensation. It is unrelated to private easements. Private easements remain a matter of personal property rights and agreements between landowners.
Bring any deeds, surveys, maps, and documents related to your property and the easement, along with a summary of your goals and questions. Be prepared to discuss how you currently use the easement and what outcome you’re seeking.
Costs vary by case complexity. We provide a clear fee structure during your initial consultation and can discuss budget options. We strive for transparent communications about timelines and potential expenses.
