Easement

An easement is a registered right for someone else to use part of your land — most commonly for access driveways, or for services like water, power, and drainage.

Easements run with the title, bind future owners, and can constrain building plans — you generally can't build over them. Your lawyer reviews all registered instruments during due diligence; pay attention to shared driveways (maintenance obligations) and any easement crossing where you'd want to develop.
