easement of access

An easement of access is a legal right that allows someone to travel across or use a part of another person's property to reach their own land or place of importance, such as a home or road. It doesn’t transfer ownership but grants necessary passage or connection. For example, if a property is landlocked without direct road access, an easement of access might allow the owner to use a neighbor’s driveway or path. This arrangement helps ensure that landowners can reach their property while respecting the rights of the property owner providing the access.
