Description

This sample Right of Way Easement grants the holder the right of construction, operation, and maintenance of electrical utility lines on the land of another. This easement must be signed and properly acknowledged before a notary public.

An easement gives one party the right to go onto another party's property. That property may be owned by a private person, a business entity, or a group of owners. Utilities often get easements that allow them to run pipes or phone lines beneath private property. Easements may be obtained for access to another property, called "access and egress", use of spring water, entry to make repairs on a fence or slide area, drive cattle across and other uses. The easement is a real property interest, but separate from the legal title of the owner of the underlying land.
