U.S. Uniform Easement Act

The U.S. Uniform Easement Act is a legal framework designed to simplify and standardize the creation and use of easements—permissions to use someone else's property for a specific purpose, like a driveway or utility access. The Act provides clear guidelines on how easements can be established, maintained, and terminated. Its goal is to balance the interests of property owners with those needing access, ensuring that rights are respected while promoting fair use. This helps reduce conflicts and misunderstandings between neighbors regarding land use.
