Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Hampshire

Re: Beach rights/ownership

Not necessarily. Records recorded in the appropriate registry of deeds, combined with actual use of the premises, will determine what rights exist in a beach. Other factors will be the type of beach and the type of water body the beach abuts.

If this question is more than academic, you should contact an attorney.

Re: Beach rights/ownership

The answer to your question would be found by examining the chain of title to the land in the area. Ownership of land is controlled by deeds. The existence of a public road through a parcel does not usually change the ownership of adjacent tracts. Sometimes the answer to the question you pose is easy. Other times it takes extensive work. There may also be issues based upon continued use of the questioned land. You best course of action would be to hire an attorney to fully examine the situation.
