An easement gives one party the right to go onto
Easement or Right of Way for Access to Property is a legal agreement between two or more parties allowing for the use of a parcel of land for specific purposes. This agreement grants the holder of the easement rights to use the land for the specific purpose stated in the agreement. This type of easement does not give the holder ownership of the land but rather the right to use the land for the specified purpose. Common types of Easement or Right of Way for Access to Property include: • An Easement of Necessity: This type of easement is granted when an individual needs access to a parcel of land in order to use their own land. • An Easement by Prescription: This type of easement is established when an individual has used a parcel of land for a certain period of time without the landowner's consent, and is thus granted a right of way. • An Easement in Gross: This type of easement allows one party to use a parcel of land for a specific purpose, such as a utility line. • An Easement Appurtenant: This type of easement allows a party to use a parcel of land for a specific purpose, and the rights associated with the easement “run with the land” and are transferable to subsequent owners.
