Document background
The Deed of Release of Right of Way is a crucial document in Dutch property law used when parties wish to terminate an existing right of way (erfdienstbaarheid van overpad) between properties. This document becomes necessary when the original right of way is no longer needed, when property arrangements change, or when parties agree to establish different access arrangements. The deed must be executed before a civil law notary and registered with the Dutch Land Registry (Kadaster) to be legally effective. It typically includes detailed property descriptions, cadastral references, the history of the right of way, and explicit termination declarations. This document is particularly important in the Netherlands due to the country's strict property law requirements and the need for formal registration of all real property rights.
