Easements are legal rights that allow one party to use a portion of another party’s property for a specific purpose, such as accessing a landlocked area or installing utility lines. In Jamaica, these rights are established through agreements or legal provisions and are recorded to ensure that they are enforceable. Easements do not confer ownership of the property but grant limited, non-exclusive access or use, thereby facilitating necessary activities while preserving property rights. This legal arrangement supports various needs in real estate, such as infrastructure development and access, by defining and protecting the specific rights of the parties involved.
