Landlocked Property

Definition: Landlocked property lacks legally usable access to a public road or other established access route.

Example

A parcel is surrounded by other owners' land and has no established access right to the road.

Keep the distinction clear

A visible path or a neighbor's informal permission is not necessarily a permanent legal easement. Being landlocked does not automatically authorize crossing anywhere.
