What does a grant of servitude typically allow?

A grant of servitude typically allows the holder to access another's property for specific uses. Servitudes are legal rights allowing a person to use someone else's land for a defined purpose, such as an easement for a pathway, utility access, or drainage. This enables the holder to benefit from the land without gaining ownership, providing a practical use while respecting the land's original ownership.

This concept differentiates servitudes from ownership transfers, which would involve a change in title, and other options that suggest control over the property—such as building on it or leasing it—which are not characteristic of servitudes. Servitudes specifically focus on limited use rather than broader rights associated with ownership or control.
