Common uses for easements include:
- Road easement: Gives the right to use a road that crosses another property.
- Water and Sewer Easement: Permits the installation and maintenance of water or sewer lines on another property.
- Well easement: Enables access to and use of a well on another property.

Frequently Asked Questions about Easements
1. What is the difference between contractual servitude and official servitude? Contract servitudes are established through agreements between property owners, while official servitudes are added through decisions by authorities, often in connection with property regulations.
2. How long is an easement valid? An easement usually applies indefinitely, but a time limit can be specified in the agreement. It can also end if the affected properties agree to this or by authority decision.
3. Can an easement be terminated? Yes, but only under certain conditions, e.g. if the easement is no longer needed or if it has not been used for a longer period.
4. Does an easement agreement need to be registered? It is not a requirement, but strongly recommended to register the agreement with the Land Survey to ensure that it also applies in the event of a future transfer of the properties.
5. Who is responsible for maintenance of the easement? It depends on what is agreed, but often it is the ruling property that is responsible for maintenance unless otherwise specified.
Tips for Establishing an Easement Agreement
- Clarity: Be careful in describing what the easement covers and which rights and obligations apply.
- Legal Advice: Feel free to consult a lawyer if the agreement is complex or if you feel unsure about legal details.
- Registration: Register the agreement with the Land Survey to protect the validity of the easement in case of future changes of ownership.
