Easement and Access Agreements

An easement is a legal right allowing someone to use a portion of another person's property for a specific purpose, like accessing a driveway or utility lines. Access agreements are contractual arrangements between property owners that define how one party can enter or use another’s land, often relating to easements. These agreements ensure clarity and prevent disputes by outlining terms such as duration, responsibilities, and restrictions. Both are important in real estate transactions to ensure that property use rights are respected and clearly understood between parties.
