The Simple Easement Agreement is a fundamental legal instrument used in Nigerian property law to establish and formalize rights of access or use over one property for the benefit of another property or entity. This document becomes necessary when one party needs specific rights over another's land, such as rights of way, utility installation, or access to resources. The agreement must comply with the Land Use Act 1978 and relevant state property laws in Nigeria, requiring proper registration with the state Land Registry. It typically includes detailed property descriptions, specific rights granted, duration terms, maintenance obligations, and compensation arrangements. This type of agreement is particularly crucial in infrastructure development, utility services, and property development projects where access rights need to be clearly defined and legally protected.
