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.

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.

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.
