Joint Use Access Easement
What is this form?
The Joint Use Access Easement is a legal agreement that allows one party to use a specific tract of land owned by another party while maintaining the original owner's rights. Unlike a lease, this easement does not grant possession or the right to alter or sell the land. It is particularly useful for ensuring that multiple property owners have access to shared driveways or pathways, facilitating both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
