An easement is the right, the freedom, or the privilege of one person or party to do something in regard to the property of another person. An easement is a property right in itself, and can be treated as a property, or thing in most jurisdictions.
Another term for easement sometimes but not as frequently used is equitable service. An easement will allow another party or person certain usage of a piece of property, but it in no way indicates ownership of any of that property.
An easement is often over a piece of land or property and use of it by another. An easement does not give the holder of the easement any right to possession of a property, merely of the use of it.
An Easement Versus a License
An easement differs from a license, because an easement isn't attached to a particular person, but rather to a particular piece of property. Therefore, if a property becomes transferred to a different owner, the easement still applies, and doesn’t change merely because of a transaction between two individuals.
