Easements

An easement handles the encroachment of one property owner’s rights over an adjacent property. For example, if your driveway (dominant tenement) were on your neighbour’s property (servient tenement), you would require an easement over your neighbour’s property to give you security of rights to that piece of property. Easements are also used for protecting the rights of passage through large buildings from one owner’s property to another.

Bennett Land Surveying Ltd. has been identifying property boundaries and the rights associated with them for over 30 years. An easement plan can be prepared by us to accompany the title of a property. The agreement is then lawfully approved by the servient tenement and registered at the B.C. Land Title Office.
