What is an Easement?
An easement is a legal right that allows one party to use another’s land for a specific purpose, such as access or utility installation. Common examples include:
- Rights of Way: Allowing access across land for pedestrians or vehicles.
- Utility Easements: Granting rights to utility companies to install and maintain infrastructure like water pipes or electricity cables.
- Private Easements: Agreements between neighbours to share driveways or access routes.
Understanding the nuances of easements is essential to avoid disputes and ensure proper use of land. Our experienced team can help you draft, review, or negotiate easement agreements tailored to your needs.
