FAQ
Easement for ingress and egress is a fancy way of saying that an easement allows someone to travel to and from the land. For example, let's say Alice can't get to her property from a public road without crossing over her neighbor Bill's property.
On appeal, the Court held that an easement for ingress and egress confers only the right to pass over the land, not the right to park on the land. The plain meaning of the terms ingress and egress do not include parking.
When termed as a utility easement, it means a utility company's right to access and control the portion of another person's land that is located near utility facilities and structures (i.e. utility poles, transformers, overhead or underground electrical lines).
Ingress refers to the right to enter a property, while egress refers to the right to exit a property.
An easement in gross is personal to the party that receives the benefit of easement. An example of an easement in gross is an easement to a utility company to run a power line across a burdened piece of property. The utility company is the benefited party and there isn't necessarily a benefited parcel of land.
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.
The right of egress is the legal right to exit or leave a property. The right of egress is usually used in conjunction with the right of ingress, which means the legal right to enter a property. Ingress and egress rights are important to homeowners since they allow access to their property.
When termed as a utility easement, it means a utility company's right to access and control the portion of another person's land that is located near utility facilities and structures (i.e. utility poles, transformers, overhead or underground electrical lines).
So, having an easement on a property may have a permanent outcome on the property with rights of the home owner. But not all easements are bad.If you live in a rural area, you run into bad easement issues more often, typically where the easement was created by a parcel owner next to your land.
