What is an easement?
An easement is a limited right to use someone else’s land for a specific purpose, like a shared driveway.
Why it matters
Easements run with the land, so they bind future owners even after the property is sold.
Common confusion
An easement is a right to use, not ownership — the property owner keeps the title.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an easement be revoked?
Most are permanent and survive a sale; some can end if the need truly disappears.
Do I have to allow the easement?
Yes, if it is recorded — blocking it can make you liable for damages.
How do I find easements on my property?
Check the title report or county records before buying.
