easement
Neighbor's pathway privilege
An easement is a legal right to use someone else's property for a specific purpose.
A utility company may have an easement to run power lines across private land; a neighbor may have an easement to cross your property to reach theirs.
The property owner retains ownership but cannot interfere with the permitted use.
Easements typically transfer with the land when sold.
