Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An easement places a particular use of land behind the exclusive legal fence. Usually, this use involves the right of passage across the land, for example, when a timbering company has purchased the right to bring its harvest of trees out across an owner's land. Once the easement has been acquired, the timbering company can exclude others, especially the titleholder of the land, from interfering with passage of its trucks across the land.
