Subject field(s)
  • Property Law (common law)
  • Property Law (civil law)
DEF

A legal document giving permission for one person or business to use land owned by another person for a stated purpose.

CONT

An example of a right-of-way easement would be when the general public is allowed to cross over private property to access a shoreline. In Maine, often people are unaware that the reason they are able to reach a shoreline (be it the ocean, a lake, or a river), is because of a legally established right.
