Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Assume property A wants an easement across property B. Granting that easement depends on several things. First, why would there be a change now? Was the other property sold or sub-divided, or was there some act of God or by the state that caused changes in access to the other property?

The state MAY force one property to grant an easement across their property because of the social benefit to make property useful.

So IF there was some act of God, or by the state that caused changes in access to the other property, then maybe, but if the prop was subdivided you can probably insist prop A1 allow access to prop A2, not across prop B.

As a general matter it's your property and you can do what you want with your property, according to law, of course, and if you don't want to grant an easement, you don't have to. Except of course as you know the utility companies have special rights. It would be rare for a court to rule that a property owner is required to grant an easement, but this isn't my area of law and I'm not up on all the cases. Private property rights are usually well respected in this country. Until they're not, of course.

Good luck.
