Rights of Way and EasementsIn Hendersonville and Asheville, some of the most common issues that arise in the area of real estate law relate to the creation, termination, and use of rights of way and easements. Oftentimes clients do not initially have a clear understanding of what an easement or right of way really is and what rights they give to their holders.
Technically speaking, the term easement encompasses a broader range of concepts than the term right of way. However, for most practical purposes, the terms can be used interchangeably. An easement is a non-possessory interest in land possessed by another. An easement does NOT give its holder a possessory ownership interest in land itself.
There are a number of different types of easements – affirmative, negative, appurtenant, in gross, and so on. Each type has its own unique characteristics that can have a profound impact upon the rights of its holder and upon the rights of the owner of the servient tenement (the land burdened by the easement). For example, while an easement appurtenant and an easement in gross may allow their holders to enter upon the land of another in exactly the same way, only the rights of the holder of the easement in gross are independent of any ownership interest in land that he or she may have. If you have questions relating to easements or any other real estate matter, call your Hendersonville real estate lawyer today at 828-490-7433.
