Definition: A right, privilege or interest limited to a specific use or control purpose which one party has in the land of another party and which run with the land and are not a personal right of an individual.
Discussion: When a property has an easement, it means that the described entity has the right to use that part of the property for a given purpose. Example: a "Utility Easement" along the south line of a property means that the Utility Company has the right to go onto that part of the property and maintain the utilities therein. The property owner may not block access to that part of the property that has an easement on it. Nothing permanent may be legally placed into / onto the easement.
A legal easement will be recorded with the deed. So when you buy a property, the title search will reveal this. The survey will also show any legally recorded easements on the property.
Today's Saying: Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.
