Florida law at a glance
- Florida recognizes easements by necessity for property that would otherwise be landlocked (section 704.01, Florida Statutes).
- A prescriptive easement generally requires 20 years of continuous, open, and adverse use.
- Some older restrictions can be extinguished under Florida’s Marketable Record Title Act (Chapter 712) unless they are preserved.
