MUJI 2d CV930
Easement by Necessity. Introduction.
An easement by necessity arises when there is a transfer of property from one owner to another that results in a tract of land becoming landlocked.
[Plaintiff] and [Defendant] are adjoining landowners. [Plaintiff] asserts that because [his/her/its] property is completely landlocked, [he/she/it] should be granted an "easement by necessity" across [Defendant's] property so that [Plaintiff] can get to or from [his/her/its] property from the [public road]. [Defendant] asserts that [Plaintiff] has no right to enter or use [Defendant's] property to access [Plaintiff's] property.
