What are the laws regarding access to land locked land?

Answer 1

In most modern systems a landowner cannot sell a landlocked parcel if they also own the land between the sold parcel and the street. They must provide access in the form of an easement or right of way.

An old landlocked parcel is different. Its history must be diligently researched in the land records to determine if it has access over any abutting land by operation of law or whether any right of way was granted in the past. If not, the owner must negotiate with and purchase access from an abutter.

You need to check the laws in your particular jurisdiction and consult with an attorney if you own or plan to purchase a landlocked parcel. See related question link.

Answer 2

I'm guessing you are concerned about the property rights. There are specific laws about access to property. They will vary according to the state, but in most cases, you have to be granted a reasonable right of way to get to a piece of land. Consult a property attorney in your specific state or province.
