FAQ
Easement is a common law term; servitude is a civil law term.However, generally speaking, an easement and a servitude perform the same function. Each of them create a right against a parcel of property that can be asserted by another person who is not the owner of the parcel.
According to property legislation, a servitude is a registered right that someone has over the immovable property owned by another person. The servitude affords the holder the right to do something with the property, even if it may infringe upon the rights of the person who owns it.
If an authority has an easement registered over your land, they have the right to access the easement to maintain or repair the easement land or their equipment on the land.
Types of Easements An easement may be classified as either an easement appurtenant or an easement in gross. Easement Appurtenant. An easement appurtenant is an easement that benefits one parcel of land, known as the dominant tenement, to the detriment of another parcel of land, known as the servient tenement.
1 : a condition in which one lacks liberty especially to determine one's course of action or way of life. 2 : a right by which something (such as a piece of land) owned by one person is subject to a specified use or enjoyment by another.
Although the terms servitude and easement are sometimes used as synonyms, the two concepts differ. A servitude relates to the servient estate or the burdened land, whereas an EASEMENT refers to the dominant estate, which is the land benefited by the right.
No large-rooted trees may be planted within the servitude area. No buildings or other structures may be erected within the servitude area.
Easement holders have the right to use the land to their enjoyment as long as it does not place an unreasonable burden on the servient estate. Landowners have the right to make whatever use of the land as long as it doesn't unduly affect the easement.
Easements are legal designations that allow individuals or entities to use portions of your property (to build on or for physical access), even though you still own the land and technically have a right to build on it.There are utility easements that allow sewer and gas lines.
