An implied easement is an unspoken agreement about how you can use/access someone else's property for a specific purpose, even though it's not written down. For example, if your house is behind someone else's and you need to use their driveway to get to your home, it's assumed that you have the right to do so, even if it's not explicitly stated anywhere.
