I have a drainage easement that runs next to my house property, the easement strip has been cut off because a block wall had been built for a condo complex at least ten years ago. There is a chain link fence that actually runs from the corner of the rear corner of my house to the block wall. How do I claim the property so I can build a block wall to secure my property?

I purchased property with the understanding I would be granted an easement to get to the property. It turned out, after the easement was granted and recorded, that the pipeline company had a right of way and they said my easement could not be used as my driveway. The owner of the land that sold me my property is going to give me another easement for my driveway. That is after I paid $2500. to have the new driveway put in with the pipeline engineers supervising it. Now he is trying, thru his lawyer, to convert the original easement to a license because I was able to get a letter from the pipeline company to grant me limited (in an emergency) access thru the original easement to my property. What is the difference between the easement and a license? I think I am getting taken advantage of. Help!

We have a residence in Charleston County, SC (Johns Island). Our house/property faces a state maintained rural road. We are having a dsipute with a neighbor and her dog. She claims she may walk her dog on our property as long as she remains within the area of the easement. We believe easements are on private property but as an easement certain governments or utitlities may access for specific reasons but not private citizens for recreation or personal reasons. Can you advise? Is this treaspasing?

I have a hunting lease, which i have owner authority for the 1250 acres of land for 20+ years an am responsible for the insurance, and upkeep and posting of property and keeping unwanted persons off the premises...On the back side of our property is 40 acres of timber and the owner of it rarely see it, but i have unwanteds come and go through our property damaging the cared for roads.The unwanted say they have permission from the owner of the 40 acres. We have had property stolen, and have expensive equipment on the property. Is there a legal check system, that can be applied to the owner of the other acres, and what about the persons, that say they have permission. Can they be held accountable for our upkeep,can they be required to show proof of permission to cross our property, and is the owner the only one that can come across. The property is located in White County AR.
