Property easement is a right to use some part of a property for a specific purpose. A survey will define the property lines to hopefully prevent any questions of land ownership.

An express easement may be contained in the deed to the property or in another document. Some examples include:
- A utility company can run power lines on a property
- Adjacent property owners may enter into an agreement to share a common driveway that extends over both properties.
An implied easement or prescriptive easement may arise when a use of property continues for a certain period of time. For example, if a neighbor has been crossing the corner of a property for years, the neighbor may have acquired a prescriptive easement to continue to cross the property in the same manner.
A right-of-way is a type of easement that gives someone the right to travel across property owned by another person.
