Yes, easements are permanent legal rights granted to a property owner or another party to use a specific portion of the property for a specific purpose.
Easements are rights to use someone else's property for another purpose. Easements are generally found in real estate law.
They probably have an express easement over your property with respect to the cable lines. Easements are granted for a specific purpose, and are limited by the purpose for which they are conveyed. Time Warner can use that easement in gross to work on the cable lines, but that's it. They can do anything they want with respect to working on/repairing the cable lines as long as that use of their easement does not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of your property.
Answer: I assume you mean to say "easement". That is a right one owner has to make use in some way of the land of another. Easements rights are granted in or by deed. Easements are sometimes acquired by operation of law (by necessity).
Most states granted voting rights to property owners.
Many easements are not in the property deed. They may arise from other deeds (especially deeded easements), subdivision plats, or other recorded documents (court orders, etc), or could become easements by some legal process (such as adverse possession, or easement by prescription or by necessity). A title search may turn up indicators of easements not in the property deed, but not necessarily all rights are recorded.
An easement is an interest in real property and easement rights are usually bundled under the definition of real property.An easement is an interest in land owned by another person consisting of the right to use or control the land, or an area above or below it, for a specific limited purpose.The land benefitting from the easement is the dominantestate. The land burdened by the easement is the servientestate. An easement can last forever but it does not give the owner any fee interest in the land.There are many types of easements such for access, installation of utilities, installation of pipeline, installation of septic systems, sight easements, sidewalk easements, well and aqueduct easements, etc. In some cases easements are granted to a neighbor whose garage encroaches on the abutters land. That type of easement generally lasts only until the structure needs to be rebuilt.
It depends on the easement and the type of property. As a rule, easements lower the value of the realty because granting an easement cedes one or more of the "bundle of rights" of absolute unencumbered ownership (fee simple title). As such, an easement reduces the rights of the property owner and therefore devalues the property. In some cases easements can enhance the property by providing access to an otherwise landlocked parcel or utility services to potentially residential property; in such a case an easement can enhance property value by providing access or allowing a higher level of development and a correspondingly higher value.
Natural rights are inherent to all individuals, such as the right to life, liberty, and property. These fundamental rights are not granted by governments but are believed to be granted by nature or a higher power.
Generally, no, unless the rights were taken by eminent domain. However, it may have acquired easement rights many years ago. If no easement rights are recited in your deed that does not mean there are no easement rights. Ancient easements are often dropped from property descriptions especially when the current configuration was derived from a much larger tract in the past. Ancient utility easements and takings would be revealed by a comprehensive title examination.
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.
