A Perpetual Right of Way Agreement is a crucial legal instrument used in Germany when permanent access rights over one property for the benefit of another party need to be established. This document is essential in situations requiring long-term, guaranteed access for purposes such as reaching landlocked property, maintaining utility infrastructure, or ensuring continuous passage rights. The agreement must comply with German property law requirements, particularly the BGB (German Civil Code) and Grundbuchordnung (Land Registration Code). It includes specific details about the location and dimensions of the right of way, permitted uses, maintenance responsibilities, and cost allocations. The perpetual nature of the agreement means it runs with the land and binds future owners, making proper drafting and registration in the Grundbuch (Land Register) critical for long-term enforceability.
