A right to access to the property of someone else means having the right to use someone’s property in a certain manner. For example, it is common to have the right to use a road, water, sewage, or line across the someone’s land.
Easements and usufructs
Easements and usufructs are examples of rights to use the property of someone else for a specific purpose. A right is created through an agreement between different parties or through a decision made by a government agency or court.
The rights between properties are called easements. It could for example be the right to use a road or a sewage across someone else´s property. There are two types of easements – contractual easements and legal easements.
If the right is between a property and an individual / legal entity it is called a usufruct. It can for example be the right to fish or hunt on someone else´s property.
Rights for lines
Utility easement is when someone gets permission to put lines under or above ground that belongs to someone else. For example, lines for electricity or for broad band. The utility easement is tried in a cadastral procedure.
The right to public access
The right to public access is the limited right to use the property of someone else (land and water) that everyone has. Such as passing over it and temporarily staying there.
