voluntary easement

A voluntary easement is a legal agreement where a property owner allows another person or entity to use part of their land for a specific purpose, such as crossing it to reach a property or installing utilities. This consent is granted willingly and often documented in writing. The easement benefits the user but does not transfer ownership; it remains attached to the land and typically remains even if the property is sold. Essentially, it’s a mutually agreed permission that limits certain uses of the land to serve a particular function.
