Easement

Easement

An easement is a nonpossessory right to use or enter onto the real property of another. It is "best typified in the right of way which one landowner, A, may enjoy over the land of another, B". An easement is a property right and type of incorporeal property in itself at common law in most jurisdictions. An easement is similar to real covenants and equitable servitudes. In the United States, the Restatement of Property takes steps to merge these concepts as servitudes. Easements are helpful for providing a 'limited right to use another person's land for a stated purpose. For example, an easement may allow someone to use a road on their neighbor's land to get to their own.' Another example is someone's right to fish in a privately owned pond, or to have access to a public beach. The rights of an easement holder vary substantially among jurisdictions.
