right of way easement

A right of way is an easement that allows a person to travel through another person’s property to get to certain location. For example, a person might travel through a neighbor’s land to reach a public road or highway. A right of way can be offered to one person, several people, or the public.

In New Jersey, a right of way is a type of easement that grants the holder the right to travel over another person's land for a specific purpose, such as accessing a public road or highway. This right can be established in various ways, including through an express grant in a deed, by implication, by necessity, or through prescriptive use over a period of time. New Jersey law recognizes the importance of these easements for providing access to properties that would otherwise be landlocked. The rights and obligations of the parties involved in a right of way are typically defined by the terms of the easement agreement, and disputes may be resolved through negotiation or litigation. It is important for property owners to be aware of any easements that may affect their property and for users of a right of way to understand the limitations of their use to avoid legal conflicts.
