The Bullet Point: In Ohio, a prescriptive easement is the acquisition of an easement, over the property owned by another, through adverse use of that property. Prescriptive easements are not favored in Ohio, as such easements deprive the legal property owner of rights to their land without compensation.
While a prescriptive easement over registered land does not need to be completed by registration to take effect at law, there are advantages to registration, which include the notification of third parties of the easement where its existence is not obvious on an inspection of the land.
The legal burden of proof A party claiming a prescriptive right has to prove not only long user, i.e. that the right has been exercised for 20 years or more, but also that the use has been as of right. As of right means, in Latin, nec vi, nec clam, nec precario.
When a person uses land in a manner in which he does not recognize the rights of the land's true owner. Continuous Use: The use, in addition to being adverse, must be continuous and uninterrupted to establish and easement by prescription.
Acquisition of easements by prescription Therefore, if there is a need to prove its title after prolonged, uninterrupted and continuous occupation or to exercise certain rights over real estate it will cause hardship and will cause injustice. The law, therefore, recognizes an easement by prescription.
