An easement can be defined as a “right, privilege or liberty” which one has in the land owned by another. To be clear, it is not ownership of the land, but rather an interest in the land. It also is the land of another, so that one cannot have an easement on one’s own land. It is also limited to some special use and purposes. Most developed areas create easements and rights of way so city, county, or state workers can build and maintain infrastructure. It’s also possible that a parcel of land blocks the entry to another property. The owner may request or require an easement to access that property without trespassing but they cannot take possession as they use a piece of real estate they don’t own for a specific purpose. For example, most easements are roads or paths through or along the edge of a property. It allows others to access areas within or behind the property for reasonable use and right of travel, allowing for more freedom of movement.
