Easement
Property Rights
An easement often involves property rights and legal agreements.

The new pipeline project required negotiation of easements with landowners.
Not Ownership
Holding an easement does not mean owning the land, just a limited use right.

The utility company has an easement for power lines, but they don't own our farm.
Permanent Arrangement
Easements are often permanent and can affect future land use or value.

Even if the property is sold, the easement for the walking path remains.
