Beneficial Use

A right to utilize real property, including light, air, and access to it, in any lawful manner to gain a profit, advantage, or enjoyment from it. A right to enjoy real or Personal Property held by a person who has equitable title to it while legal title is held by another.

A beneficial use involves greater rights than a mere right to possession of land, since it extends to the light and air over the land and access to it, which can be infringed by the beneficial use of other property by another owner. If a dispute arises from the conflicting ways in which two Adjoining Landowners exercise their respective beneficial uses of their property, a court, exercising its discretion, may adjudicate those rights.

A beneficiary of a trust has beneficial use of the trust property, the legal title to which is held by the trustee.

In 1997, however, the New Jersey Legislature expressed disapproval with this emerging trend, fearing rampant expansion of wireless towers throughout the state.(117) In pertinent part, the legislature amended the Municipal Land Use Law(118) (discussed above), codifying the principle that even with an inherently beneficial use, the negative criteria must be satisfied.(119) Although courts continued to treat inherently beneficial uses with deference under the balancing test, the actions of the legislature reduced that deference.(120) Therefore, when the New Jersey Supreme Court faced wireless facility siting disputes in the summers of 1998 and 1999, it was forced to consider the restrictive intentions of the state legislature.(121)
