This form provides for a release by the owner of a right of way so that the right of way no longer exists.
Description: A Kentucky Release of Right of Way/Easement is a legal document that is used to release or terminate a previously granted right of way or easement in the state of Kentucky. This document acknowledges that the owner of the dominant property (the property benefiting from the right of way or easement) voluntarily releases their rights and interest in the serving property (the property burdened by the right of way or easement). Keywords: Kentucky, Release of Right of Way, Easement, serving property, dominant property, termination, legal document Different types of Kentucky Release of Right of Way/Easement: 1. Release of Right of Way: This type of release specifically applies to the termination of a right of way over a certain property. A right of way grants the holder the legal right to access or pass through another person's property for a specific purpose, such as accessing a public road or utility lines. The release document would extinguish this right, freeing the serving property from any obligation to provide access. 2. Release of Easement: This type of release is used when terminating an easement, which is a non-possessory right to use another person's property for a specific purpose. Easements can be granted for various reasons, such as granting access to utility lines, drainage, or ingress and egress to a landlocked property. The release document would terminate the easement, allowing the serving property to be free from the burden of granting the easement holder access or use. 3. Mutual Release: In some cases, both parties involved in a right of way or easement agreement may mutually agree to terminate their rights and obligations. This type of release ensures that both dominant and serving properties are released from the burden and access obligations related to the right of way or easement. A mutual release may be used to resolve disputes, change property usage plans, or simply based on an agreement between the parties involved. It is important to note that a Kentucky Release of Right of Way/Easement must be properly drafted, signed, and recorded with the appropriate county recorder's office in order to be legally valid and enforceable. Parties seeking to release or terminate a right of way or easement should consult with a real estate attorney or other qualified professionals to ensure compliance with Kentucky's laws and regulations.
