What is the difference between Easement, Servitude and Right of Way in Louisiana.

Question

What is the difference between Easement, Servitude and Right of Way in Louisiana.



Answer

An easement and a servitude are exactly the same thing. Easement is a common law term and servitude is a civil law (Louisiana) term. A right of way is essentially the same thing as well, but a right of way is a personal right (e.g, belongs to you, personally), whereas a servitude is a right that travels with the land, so any buyer of the land also has the right.
