Its not a utility easement for power lines - you are describing denying access for vehicles temporarily accessing the other owners property, which typically is the very purpose of such an easement. ...

Is it possible to stop the road commission from putting a roundabout right outside my house

Answered 2 years and 2 months ago by attorney Gilbert Borman   |   1 Answer

Where do I look for an attorney, where I live (SC) or where the personal injury happened (FL)?

Answered 2 years and 8 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer
Florida courts would have jurisdiction over the accident. You may have a claim worth pursuing if the injuries turn out to be more serious than just bumps and brusies. Did you take any pictures of the area where you slipped and fell? Did you get the name of the witness who helped you up? These and other questions warrant exploration with counsel here in Florida. ... Read More

Is there someplace to help us understand our property legal description? We have an easement

Your remedy may also lie against the seller and possibly your title company (depending on what kind of deed you got). As for the easements, those are pretty straightforward requiring a survey to be done to get the exact legal description and then, after payment to the grantors, recording the easements in the register of deeds. Depending on where the land is located will determine the best lawyer for the easement issues, you will probably want someone local.
