If you can locate the owner of the easement, and that person is willing to release their rights to the easement, the process is fairly simple. The easement owner would need to sign a "release of easement" in the presence of a notary public, and the release would need to be recorded in the county where the property is located. Upon recording of the release, the easement would no longer affect your land.

In most cases, an easement owner does not have to release rights to an easement if he does not want to. You should contact an attorney who specializes in real estate law who can review the title to the premises and explain your options.

Hi I own a Grade 2 Listed freehold property that has a flying freehold bathroom over my neighbours property drainage to said bathroom shower and toilet goes out of my property into a drain on my land that then it transpires goes into my neighbour's septic tank. I had agreed with mu neighbor to doing an easement but had delayed for personal reasons getting it done (Is it my responsibility to pay they brought the place and just to send me a legal bill to pay)it transpires the neighbor whom has renovatedtheir property and put it straight back on the marketwas at home the other day I heard building work and investigated 3 builders on my land filling in my drain and had removed my drainage and capped off my waste pipe to my wall. Iwas not too pleased told the buildersto cease and desist and that they were trespassing. They said my neighbour had instructed them to do the workI now do not have the use of a Bathroom in my £750,000 home

Please tell me because I now cannot have my tenant and I amlosing income and it has devalued my home by £200,000 probably have lived there 14 years and they have come in are selling and done a quick renovation job cutting me off in the process. Surely they need planning and permission from the.

councilCertainly they are only allowed to do maintenance on my land but to remove my drainage and block it is remarkable if legal. Please advise the most ruthless plan of attack Thank You

Generally you cannot revoke an easement unless you reserved the right to revoke it when it was granted. The owner would need to voluntarily release it to you. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law who can review your situation and explain your options.

There are two ways an easement can be extinguished.

  • You must obtain a written release from the current owner(s) of the easement right and then record it in the land records.
  • If that's not possible you can bring a lawsuit in a land court or court of equity and provide compelling evidence as to why the easement right should be extinguished. The easement can be extinguished by a court order.

Can holder of right of way for ingress and egress give another land owner with landlocked property permission to use the same row?

Not unless the first easement owner was granted the right to assign it to other landowners in the original grant of easement. If not, the other land owner must obtain a separate easement from the owner of the land over which the easement passes.


If you are the owner of the easement who has right to use it?

It depends on the language of the easement itself, most importantly what the easement if for. An easement is a right granted by the land owner (fee owner) to go over, across, and/or under the land for a specific purpose. (e.g., utility lines, access roads) In the case of utility lines, only the party granted the easement (grantee) has the right to use it. In the case of an access road (e.g, a driveway across adjoining land), the easement can typically be used by the owner of the land served by the roadway as well as those who have business or are visiting that land. The underlying fee land owner is typically free to continue using the land in any manner that doesn't impinge on the rights granted by the easement.


What does full enjoyment of the easement mean?

Full enjoyment of the easement means that the owner of the easement is able to exercise all the benefits of the easement that are described in the document that created the easement. For instance, if an owner of an easement has the right of access to his property over a 12 foot ROW then the owner of the land encumbered by the ROW cannot park cars within the bounds of the ROW so as to impede its use by the owner of the easement.

Can the owner of land over which there is an easement terminate the easement because of the easement owner's refusal to adequately maintain the easement?

The requirement for maintenance should be recited in the instrument that created the easement. The owner of the servient land would need to bring an action in a court of equity and request relief. If successful, the court would issue an order that clears the title of the easement. However, you need to consult an attorney who specializes in real estate law and litigation. An abundance of work would be involved in that type of case.


Can someone with an easement deed that easement to someone else?

Generally, an easement "runs with the land" unless the original grant specifies it will end when the grantee no longer owns the property.If A granted a right of way easement over their land to B then the ROW will become an appurtenant right attached to B's land. When B sells to a new owner, the new owner also will acquire the ROW. However, B cannot sell or transfer the ROW to any other land owner, for example, her neighbor, C.


Do easements transfer when property is sold?

Yes. When landowners grant an easement they are effectively selling some portion of their ownership rights in that land, so they can't sell the easement. The deed of sale must cite any diminutions of the selling owner's rights in the land being sold, and that includes easements. So, while ownership of the land transfers, ownership of the easement rights remains with the easement owner.


How is a servient estate effected when a dominate estate is divided?

In the case of an easement the servient estate is the land burdened by an easement. The dominant estate is the land that has the benefit of the easement. If owner A has a right of way over the land of owner B and A desires to subdivide her property, A must examine the language of the original grant of ROW to determine if it was granted to A AND her heirs and assigns.
