Trouble with neighbor

He can try to make an argument that the easement wording was overlooked since the boundaries were understood to be different than the really are. 80 yards is substantial. (Mine may be off by 8 inches. The person who put up a wire fence some years ago did so by eye. He just sold the place. His surveyor told me Once my own survey is done, my lawyer will be sending the new neighbor a letter, since I plan to put a "pretty" fence up.) Just letting this all slide and hoping no one will call his bluff or call in the authorities is stupid, imo. I agree you should not rely on someone else's survey. And unless you are there to guard your line, posted or not, anyone can try to trespass. They have to get caught by a law officer or CO.

Not always necessarily so. Depends on the state and several other factors a good lawyer should know about.

Surveyors are not perfect. Keep that in mind.
What made you think the corner was in the "old" location ?

I like this idea the best. As long as he coordinates his hunting plans with you. If he refuses to do that, then make him take the expensive route

went thru this 2yrs ago.row(deeded)across moms (now mine) property.original easement to get to citiots property out bk was still good-dated 1861.lucky it was on property line,fun part was deed stated during winter months.judge upheld that language=December to march 21st is your season of access.have a good day.thought i'd die laughing.lesson-chk your wording-it can make a big diff!

Could be correct. All I can offer is my opinion. I do not practice law.

Very interesting.

If I'm not mistaken, if his property is landlocked, he will be granted an easement across the shortest reasonable access.

Why If purchased landlocked he bought it cheep. Any surrounding property can ask any price for access. No free lunch

vicker,in n.y. if u buy landlocked property? u screwed,better have it in writing and notorized.in my case-judge told owner in swamp that i'm the only one who can change his access.guess he shouldn't have threatend and yelled at my mom.....I was at work that day-or we're been in court for a diff reason.

True. An easement does not have to be recorded or shown on any kind of survey to be legal. And it is generally illegal to SELL land without access; there could be an implied easement which could carry rights if the issue goes to court. Or an adjoining owner can sometimes create a prescriptive easement by continuously using an old logging road, private road, etc. over someone else's land for a certain period of time.

Bottom line - get a good real estate lawyer ASAP.
