Right of Way and Utility Easement for Access and Utilities: A Right of Way and Utility Easement allows for the access to certain land, owned by the Grantor, in order to access utility lines. This Right of Way runs with the land for either a certain period of time, or it can be worded to run with the land. This form is available in both Word and Rich Text formats.
An easement gives one party the right to go onto another party's property. That property may be owned by a private person, a business entity, or a group of owners. Utilities often get easements that allow them to run pipes or phone lines beneath private property. Easements may be obtained for access to another property, called "access and egress", use of spring water, entry to make repairs on a fence or slide area, drive cattle across and other uses. The easement is a real property interest, but separate from the legal title of the owner of the underlying land.
