Easement and Access Rights

An easement is a legal right that allows one person or entity to use a portion of another person's property for a specific purpose, such as accessing a road or utility lines. Access rights ensure that individuals can reach their property or utilize services, such as water or electricity, even if they must cross someone else's land. These rights are essential in real estate planning because they help define how different properties interact, ensuring that landowners can access their properties while respecting the rights of neighboring landowners.
