You live near the ocean, and neighbors constantly walk across your property to get to the wet stuff. How do you fix this? Whatever you do, don't let 'em earn a prescriptive right! (Prescriptive right kicks in after 10 years and allows someone to legally use your property as they have in the past). According to Hamptons Online, a sure-fire way to avoid prescriptive right is to simply grant the intruder specific access to your property. (You can even attach a fee!) By creating a license, prescriptive right becomes void and everybody wins. [Hamptons Online]
