HESIA

hesia (pronounced hee-zhee or hee-shee) is a legal term that refers to an easement. An easement is a right to use someone else's property for a specific purpose, such as a right of way for a driveway or a pathway to access a beach.

One example of an easement is a shared driveway between two neighboring properties. The owner of one property has the right to use the driveway to access their home, but they do not own the driveway itself. Another example is a utility company's right to access a property to maintain power lines or other infrastructure.

These examples illustrate how an easement allows someone to use another person's property for a specific purpose without actually owning the property. It is a legal agreement that can be written into a property deed or created through a court order.
