An easement is an interest in land owned by another that entitles its holder to a specific limited use or enjoyment. For example, if a parcel of land is unable to be accessed without crossing over an adjoining property, it may be necessary to create an easement which will allow the owner of the subject property the right to cross the adjoining property. An easement may also be created in order to install utilities, maintain structures, for right-of-way purposes, for the use of a water course, etc.
