Easements and Covenants

What is Easements and Covenants?

Easements and covenants are essential components of property law that define rights, restrictions, and obligations associated with real estate. An easement grants a non-owner the right to use another's property for a specific purpose, such as accessing a landlocked parcel or maintaining utility lines. Covenants, on the other hand, are legal agreements that outline restrictions or requirements for property use, often found in homeowners' associations or planned communities. These legal concepts can significantly impact property values, development potential, and landowner rights. Understanding the intricacies of easements and covenants is crucial for property owners, buyers, and developers to navigate potential challenges and make informed decisions. If you're facing issues related to easements or covenants, or need guidance on real estate matters, don't hesitate to contact Ott Law Firm at 314-794-6900.
