Document background
The Deed of Release of Right of Way is an essential legal instrument in Canadian property law used when parties wish to formally terminate an existing easement or right of way over a property. This document is typically required when the original purpose of the right of way is no longer needed, when property ownership changes, or when land use patterns evolve. The deed must be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with provincial property laws, land registry requirements, and municipal regulations. It should include precise details about the property, the right being released, and any conditions attached to the release. This document is particularly important in situations involving utility easements, access rights, or shared driveways, and requires proper execution and registration to effectively update property records.
