FAQ
Easement holders have the right to use the land to their enjoyment as long as it does not place an unreasonable burden on the servient estate. Landowners have the right to make whatever use of the land as long as it doesn't unduly affect the easement.
The party gaining the benefit of the easement is the dominant estate (or dominant tenement), while the party granting the benefit or suffering the burden is the servient estate (or servient tenement). For example, the owner of parcel A holds an easement to use a driveway on parcel B to gain access to A's house.
A property easement is a legal situation in which the title to a specific piece land remains with the landowner, but another person or organization is given the right to use that land for a distinct purpose.
When one of the owners of either the dominant estate which an easement benefits or the servient estate over which the easement runs becomes the owner of both properties, then there is a unity of the two titles, and since an owner does not need an easement over the owner's own property, according to Florida law, the
The owner of the land that has the benefit of the right of way (the user) also has no obligation to maintain and repair but is entitled to maintain and repair the way but if he does so, he has to do so at his own cost.
When you're buying a house, you might find out that the property has an easement on it. Essentially this means that someone other than you could have access to the land. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. For example, utility companies typically hold easements in case they need to access pipes or cables.
An easement can decrease the value of a real estate, increase the value of the real estate or it can have no impact on the value of the real estate at all. The most important fact is that each property and situation should be evaluated on individual basis, taking into account all the circumstances.
Give the document a simple title: Grant of Easement is sufficient. Identify the parties. You need to explain who the parties are to the agreement. The person granting the easement to his property is the Grantor and the person gaining access to the property is the Grantee.
Basically, the person or party using an easement, known as an easement holder, has a duty to maintain it. Easement holders don't become owners of the land attached to their easements, though, and within limits the actual landowners retain most rights over it.
