Title Tuesday #6

Title Tuesday #6: What Is an Easement?

An easement is a legal right that allows someone to use another person’s property for a specific purpose. Easements are common in real estate and often appear in the title report or survey during a transaction.

In this episode of Title Tuesday, we explain how easements work, how they can benefit one property while burdening another, and why they matter during the title review process.

We also look at common examples like driveway access easements and utility easements. Understanding easements helps buyers, attorneys, and agents recognize how property rights can extend beyond simple ownership boundaries.
