Yes, under certain circumstances. An easement can be released by the party that owns the easement rights. An owner of property encumbered by an easement can petition the court to remove the easement and may prevail if there is sufficient evidence that the easement is no longer needed or in use.

If you are experiencing difficulty with the person(s) who possess the right of easement over your property, if you cannot settle the difficulty among yourselves, you would probably best be served by consulting with an attorney for a possible solution to your dilemma.

What is a private nonexclusive easement?
An "easement" is a legal right to use the property owned by another person (i.e. the person who granted the easement). An easement is usually created by a recorded document, whether a deed or an easement agreement. The purpose of the easement (for example, a driveway or a walking path) is whatever permitted use is stated in the easement document. The fact that the easement is "perpetual" means that the easement has no term and will continue indefinitely. An easement that is "non-exclusive" simply is an easement that someone else may also use. This might mean the person who granted the easement or whoever else may be identified in the easement document. The easement document should state who else may use the easement. A perpetual easement usually "runs with the land", meaning that the easement continues in effect regardless of whether the property benefited by the easement is sold or if the property burdened by the easement is sold.
Who pays taxes on a perpetual easement?
You have to pay the taxes on the easement if you are receiving money for granting it. Make sure the deal you are receiving is worth the taxes you are paying.
Can a property easement be removed from a deed?
You can't have an easement removed from your land. You purchased the land subject to the easement because a prior owner granted another party some sort of rights in your land. The only way to remove the burden of an easement is to obtain a release in writing from the owner of the easement and then record the release in the land records. If the easement is used for access, it cannot be removed. Evidence of an easement can be removed from the deed description for land, however, removing the language from the deed will not affect the easement right. The easement will be disclosed during a title examination. In Massachusetts if the instrument that created the easement appears in the chain of title then it encumbers the property whether or not the easement is recited in subsequent deeds. That is a major reason to have a title examination performed by a professional. The title exam reveals encumbrances that are not recited on the deed and must cover a period of 50 years in. That period varies from state to state.

If you have permission to hunt can you use a perpetual easement to get to property?
First, a landowner's verbal permission to hunt their property can be withdrawn at any time, for any reason. You should get it in writing. Also, you should inquire about legal access to the property when you discuss permission with the landowner. If the owner has legal access via an easement and permits you to use their land then you can also use their easement for access. If the easement you refer to is owned by someone else then you need their permission to use it.
