To establish a prescriptive easement in California, the adverse use of the land must be open, notorious, and continuous for at least five years. The open element requires the easement user to engage with the land in an open way, which can usually be ascertained by whether it appears the user is doing so in secret.
An easement may be recorded in the public real estate records or other regulatory agency records; however, an easement may exist without recordation.
The landowner can grant the easement and record it at the county clerk's office, or the landowner can imply it without any written action required. It becomes an encumbrance, or claim, on the land's title once it is recorded and registered.
In California, a user of land may establish a prescriptive easement by proving that his or her use of another's land was: (1) continuous and uninterrupted for five years; (2) open and notorious; and (3) hostile. The first two requirements are relatively straightforward.
The easement does not technically need to be recorded, but an unrecorded agreement may not be ultimately enforceable in a court of law, so ensure that any written agreement is properly and legally recorded to avoid contentions in the future.
