What is a shared driveway easement?

A shared driveway easement is a legal right allowing two or more property owners to use the same driveway to access their homes, typically recorded against both properties' deeds so the arrangement carries forward to future owners. Maintenance responsibilities and usage rights should be clearly spelled out in the easement document to avoid disputes down the road.
