Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
Right of Way
Property is owned by a party that has been using our path to get to the property for more than 30 years. Nothing has ever been put in writing and recorded at the courthouse granting a right of way. Now the owners of that property are selling it and need us to sign a paper granting them a right of way and have it recorded at the courthouse. First, do we have to grant them a right of way? Second, if we do have to grant them a right of way, are we entitled to be compensated for it and how much should the compensation be? Also, is ''right of way'' and ''easement'' the same thing?
