UNDERSTANDING GRANTS OF EASEMENT, RIGHTS OF WAY, DRAINAGE

What are grants of easement, rights of way, and drainage?

An easement is a legal right that grants someone the privilege to use a portion of another person’s land for a specific purpose, even though they do not own the land itself. Easements can take various forms, including rights of way, rights to light, and rights to drainage. They are essential for ensuring the practicality and functionality of properties.

The significance of easements lies in their multiple functions and critical roles in diverse contexts.

Rights of Way

By granting access to properties that are landlocked, easements guarantee that owners can access their land without violating the rights of their neighbours.

Utility Easements

In order to develop and maintain infrastructure that benefits the general public, such as solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage, electricity lines, and water pipes, utility and renewable energy businesses frequently have easements.

Rights to Light and Air

By limiting nearby developments that would obstruct these necessary components, easements protect a property owner’s access to natural light and air.
