GLOSSARY TERM
	Easement
	DESCRIPTION
	A legal right given to a person over the land of another person. An easement commonly involves the use of or access to the other person's land, such as a right of way over a neighbour's property, but can also include a right of drainage. An easement generally passes with the land so that a new buyer of land will enjoy the benefit of any easements over neighbouring property, but will also be subject to the burden of any easements over the property it intends to buy.
