Easement Attorneys
Overview
An easement is defined as the intangible interest in real property that also grants the easement owner a right to use the real property owned by the servient tenement. These agreements allow for the legal entry, modification, and maintenance of a servient estate. Easements can be used for more than just access to service roads, easements can be used to prevent another property owner from using the land and are commonly used when performing subsurface piping or wiring jobs.

KEY POINTS
- An easement is an incorporeal, intangible, and nonpossessory interest in the land of another that gives the easement owner the right to use the land of the other person either permanently or for a limited amount of time depending upon the language of the easement. An easement may also be used to prevent the other property owner from using the land.
- Easement’s may be created in various ways, some of the most common ways easements are created is by deed, by an agreement between property owners, or recorded by tract restrictions that satisfy certain legal requirements.
- An example of an affirmative easement would be an extension of road from a public road that crosses into private land and connects to a unrelated house or field behind the private land. An example of a negative easement would be the government prohibiting the construction of a building that would block sunlight to solar panels near-by, greatly harming their efficiency.
- A non-exclusive easement where the servient owner may continue to use the easement area so long as such use does not unreasonably interfere with the dominant landowner. An exclusive easement only permits the dominant owner to use the easement area.
- The owner of the servient tenement has no obligation to maintain or repair the easement, unless otherwise agreed to in the contract documents. The owner of an easement not only has the right to maintain and repair the easement, but also has the duty to keep the easement in a safe condition to prevent injury to third persons and to the servient tenement.
