In New Jersey, an easement is a formal, legally binding agreement that grants another person or entity the right to use a specific portion of your property for a designated purpose, such as a shared driveway or utility lines. Conversely, an encroachment is an unauthorized intrusion, such as a neighbor's fence or tree extending over the property boundary, which can cause title issues.
