Real Estate Property Ownership Can be Encumbered:
Just because one owns real estate, it doesn't mean that they have full control over it, or that there aren't others with claims or rights to use of the property. There can also be limitations on the owner's use or transfer of the property.
Easements on Real Property:
An easement is the right of one party to use the land of another. Rights might include passing over the property to access another, using a pond for fishing, placing utilities across it, etc. Easements can be granted at any time, and under the right circumstances, they can be removed.
