An easement is a limited right to use someone else’s land for a specific purpose, such as a shared driveway or utility line.
Disputes arise when the scope, location, or maintenance of an easement is unclear, or when the agreement does not reflect current needs.
Easements grant non-possessory rights to use land for defined purposes, and they often run with the land or are created by written documents.
Key elements include the type of easement, the parties involved, how it was created, and the remedies available if it is breached. The process typically combines negotiation, documentation, and, if needed, a court proceeding.
