Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Re: property right of way in deed over 100years old

Questions you should ask a real estate attorney in your area are: what kind of easement is granted in the Deed; are their limits? where is the proposed house in relation to the easement? Is the Church planning on using the easement to access the house? Other questions come to mind based on the fact pattern you present. Free advice on the internet won't cut it in your case. For your sake, spend a few bucks and get a consultation.

This is a problem that ought not to be discussed in an open forum. True, your identity is not easiliy available from Lawguru, but how many churches with that kind of easement can there be in your zip code.

You are right to raise the issue. Do it with a lawyer and not your church-neighbor. If you would like to discuss it with me, call or email using the contact information provided here.

Go talk with a Reall Estate litigator. You will need to sue to have the Easement declared abandoned or terminated for abuse of rights. Act now before the church builds a home there and the buyer gains a right of access to his property over your land. My practice is in Massachusetts now and I will not be able to represent you, but I can refer you to someone if you wish.
