An easement is a right in the land of another. The right is often described as the right to use the land of another for a special purpose. An easement gives one party the right to go onto another party's property. An easement is a real property interest, but separate from the legal title of the owner of the underlying land.
In this agreement, co-owners of an easement agree to share the costs and expenses of maintaining the easement.

An easement once granted may be ended by merger. Under the merger doctrine, an easement will terminate when the dominant and servient estates become vested in one person. To satisfy this, there must be a complete unity of the dominant and servient estates, meaning that one person or entity owns the entire plot of land.

The termination of an easement that occurs when the person or entity who holds the easement acquires title to the servient tenement or when the same person attains ownership of both the dominant tenement and the servient tenement.
