    What happens to an easement if the same person buys both properties?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    An easement is legally terminated the moment the "dominant" property (the one that has the right) and the "servient" property (the one that provides the right) come under the ownership of the same person. Under Dubai real estate law, you cannot hold an easement over your own land. This merger of titles simplifies the property record by removing a right that is no longer necessary, as the single owner now has total control over both parcels and no longer needs a specific legal right of way.
