Easement Rights

Easement rights refer to the legal privilege that allows one party to use a portion of another party's property for a specific purpose. This could include access to a pathway, utility lines, or drainage. Easements do not transfer ownership but grant limited use, often to ensure access or functionality, like allowing a neighbor to cross your land to reach their property. They can be negotiated privately or established by law, and typically remain in effect even if the property is sold. Understanding these rights is crucial for property owners to navigate potential disputes and maintain good neighborly relations.
