Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Re: Granting access to neighboring property

unless he has an easement to your property - i.e. written permission to cross your property, then in my opinion, no. If he wishes to sell a portion of his property, he most likely will be requires to provide access across his own property. Feel free to contact my office for further assistance and representation.

You may wish to search the records to determine whether or not your neighbor has a recorded easement to cross your property.

If not, you are not required to grant him access through your driveway.
