An 'easement' is the right to use the land of another owner (or the right to prevent another property owner from using his or her land) for a special purpose. It is not an ownership interest in land but, rather, a nonpossessory interest in the land of another.

An easement owner has no right to use the land beyond the limited use granted by the easement.

Easements and challenges to easements are some of the most common issues in California Real Estate law. Contact our office today.
