The law in Ontario regarding easements and rights-of-way is not widely understood. Surveyors frequently have to address issues with access to property and easements for services. A right-of-way used to access a cottage lot by crossing another person's property is common in rural Ontario, but do you know your rights? A little known amendment to Part III of the Registry Act, under which the titles to most properties on Manitoulin Island are registered, was enacted by the Provincial Government which could impact your access rights. According to the interpretation of the Act by the Ministry of Consumer & Business Services, if your right-of-way for access was first created more than forty years ago, there is a very good chance that your rights have expired, or could at any time. There were thousands of waterfront parcels created in the late 1960's accessed by rights-of-way; do you have one? Learn about your options. |
