easements
Neighbor's driveway permissions
Easements are legal rights to use someone else's property for a specific purpose without owning it.
A utility company might hold an easement to run power lines across private land.
A neighbor might have an easement allowing access through your yard to reach the road.
The property owner retains ownership but cannot interfere with the permitted use.
