Yes, I'm an assignee/parcel owner. Zigner has summarized things nicely. My only other question was that, since the driveway that we both use is not within the easement, what (if any) rights does my neighbor have? That prompted my initial question about adverse possession. BTW, thanks to you all...

My attorney told me there was an easement involved, but never told me the details. Since many lake-side homes have shared driveways, I didn't think too much of it, but I didn't know what I didn't know. The signers of the agreement are all deceased. While there was no time limit for them to...

That's certainly the case. Any comment on my interpretation of who's responsible for what in the easement agreement ... i.e., the original signers were responsible for building the road, and heirs and assigns are responsible for 50/50 maintenance only? Also, there are a number of articles on...

The parties initially involved are specifically named in the agreement. The agreement says "The parties hereby agree to pay and share equally the original cost of the construction of the road, to be built by the parties hereto over said sixteen feet wide easement..." The parties/signators, then...

I finally received a copy of the easement agreement that I mentioned above. A copy has been uploaded. First, the easement that I recalled to be 15 feet wide is actually described as 16 feet. Minor detail. Second, there were some other aspects of the easement related to maintenance that I did...

Thanks. I'll upload it as soon as I get it. My objective is to know how to respond when he brings up his desired improvements again ... as I expect he will. My response would depend on what (if any) rights he has over a driveway on my parcel used for years by both houses. It doesn't sound...

I have uploaded a jpeg with two images. The top shows the property lines from the tax map and the bottom is an aerial view from Google. The blue colored-in parcel is my property. The next parcel to the east (right) is my neighbor. Tress obscure most of the structures in the overhead view...

I own a house on a lake that was built in the 1960's. I purchased it around 25 years ago. The driveway for the house is shared with the house next to me and is on my property up to the point where it splits. After it splits as it nears the two houses, one part goes onto the neighbor's property...
